The spinner at the right is divided into eight equal parts. Find the theoretical probability of landing on the given section(s) of the spinner. P(not less than 5)

P(not less than 5) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Parts of spinner = 8 equal parts

Required

P(not less than 5)

First, it'll be assumed that the parts of the spinner is numbered 1 - 8.

This gives the following sample space (S)

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

Total = 8

To calculate PP(not less than 5), the number of parts not less than 5 is needed.

Parts not less than 5 = {5,6,7,8}

Number of parts = 4

So, P(not less than 5) = Number of parts not less than 5 divided by total number of parts

Mathematically, P(not less than 5) = 4/8

P(not less than 5) = 4/8

P(not less than 5) = ½

P(not less than 5) = 0.5

Hence, the theoretical probability of PP(not less than 5) is 0.5.

they are simplified
