You spin a spinner that has 15 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 15. Find the theoretical probability of landing on the given section(s) of the spinner.
P(less than 16)
You spin a spinner that has 15 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 15 .Find the theoretical probability of landing on the given section(s) of the spinner.
Answer to Problem 8P
1
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given section is :
P(less than 16)
Formula Used :
Calculation:
The total number of sections in the spinner = 15
The favourable number of outcomes of getting a number less than 16= 15 (since all the numbers 1 to 15 are less than 16)
Hence , the theoretical probability of landing on the section with number less than 16 is 1.
