The probability of spinning a 5 is 1/20
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability s the likeliness of occurrence of an event.
Given
Spinner is divided into 20 equal sections. this means that all sections have equal probability of being selected
So,
n(S)=20
Let A be the event of spinning 5
n(A) = 1
as there is only one section numbered 5
The probability of spinning a 5 is:
[tex]P(A) =\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Hence,
The probability of spinning a 5 is 1/20
