Question 85516: The spinner has numbers from 0 to 5. 2 and 4 are represented twice and all the other numbers once. What is the probability of getting 4 Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! THERE ARE 6 NUMBERS. 4 ARE OF SIZE X & 2 ARE SIZE 2X THUS
X+X+X+X+2X+2X=8X
SEEING AS THERE ARE 360 DEGREES IN A CIRCLE THEN EACH OF THE X SIZE NUMBERS ARE :
360/8=45 DEGREES OR 1/8 OF THE CIRCLE.
THE 2 LARGER NUMBERS 2 & 4 ARE =2X OR 90 DEGREES OR 1/4 OF THE CIRCLE.
THE CHANCES OF GETTING A 4 IS 1/4 OR 25% OF THE TIME.
