NUMBER OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
------------------------------------------------------------ = PROBABILITY
TOTAL NUMBER OF POSSIBLE OUTCOMES
Find each probability if you spin the spinner once.
7. P( striped) = 3/8 (because there's 3 striped squares)
8. P(white) = 1/2 (because there's 4 whites in 8 so it
should be 4/8 but i reduced it in to half because
it's same thing)
9. P(shaped) = 1/8 (because there's only 1 square out of those 8
squares)
10. P(white or shaded) = 5/8 (because there's 4 white and 1 shaded so it's 5)
11. P(striped or white) = 7/8 (because there's 4 white and 3 striped so it's 7)
12. P(striped or shaded) = 1/2 (because there's 3 striped and 1 shaded
squares and it's add up to 4 so it should be 4/8 but i reduced it to half)
13. P(not striped) = 5/8 (because there's 3 striped squares out of 8 squares
so 8-3 = 5 it is 5/8)
14. P(not white) = 1/2 (because there's 4 white squares out of 8 so
8-4=4 it is 4/8 but i reduced it to half)
15. P(striped or white or shaded) = 8/8 (because there's 3 striped,
4 white and 1 shaded, so it adds up to 8 and there's total 8 squares.
It is 8/8 but you can say 1 as a whole thing)
NEW QUESTION
If you pick squares at random, what is the probability?
P(pink, white,blue) = 3/8 because there is only one of these colours
P(yellow, black, red) = 2/8 because there is no red
P(green, orange) = 1/8 because there is no orange
P(brown) = 0/8 because there is no brown
P(brown, orange, green, yellow, black , red, blue) = 4/8 because there's no brown, orange, red
