Question 1138578: Consider the wheel to the right. If the wheel is spun and each section is equally likely to stop under the​ pointer, determine the probability that pointer lands on gold​, given that the number is greater than 7. Note that the gold sectors are the sectors numbered 7 and 12.
A spinner consists of a circle divided into 12 equal sectors. Each sector has a number and a color as follows, where the color is listed first and the number is listed second: purple, 1; red, 2; red, 3; red, 4; blue, 5;
purple, 6; gold, 7; purple, 8; purple, 9; blue, 10; purple, 11; gold, 12.

given the number is >7 (8,9,10,11,12) probability it is gold (12). That is 1/5 probability.
