Question 639136: Wheel of Fortune: In Exercises 35-38 use the small replica of the Wheel of Fortune. If the wheel is spun at random, determine the probability of the sector indicated stopping under the pointer. A number greater than $700.
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Count the number of sectors that have a value greater than $700. Do not count sectors that ARE $700 because $700 is not greater than $700. This is the numerator of your fraction.
Count the number of sectors altogether. This is your denominator.
The fraction (once you have reduced it to lowest terms) is your desired probability.
