Question

In a spinning wheel, there are 3 white and 5 green sectors. It is spinned. What is the probability of getting a green sector?

A. 5/3

B. 5/8

C. 1/5

D. 3/8

Answer 1

Total number sectors = 8 

Number of green sectors = 5

Probability (P) = \(\frac{Number\,of\,favorable\,outcomes}{Total\,number\,of\,outcomes}\)

Probability of getting a green sector P(green)

= \(\frac{Number\,of\,green\,sector}{Total\,number\,of\,sector}\) = \(\frac{5}{8}\)
