Question

a 12 section game wheel has a 25% probability that the pointer will land on green. what is the likelihood that the pointer will land on green?

A) its is certain the pointer will land on green.

B) it is neither likely nor likely the pointer will land on green

C) it is likely the pointer will land on green

D) it is unlikey the pointer will land on green

Answer 1

Answer:

D) it is unlikely the pointer will land on green

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

total number of section on the game wheel = 12

As the game wheel has total number of 12 sections so the probability that the wheel will land on any one section should be,

$P(A)\ =\ \dfrac{1}{12}$

but as we can see that the probability that the pointer will land on the green section = 25%

             $=\dfrac{25}{100}$

             $= \dfrac{1}{4}$

As the probability that the pointer will land on the green section is more than the probability of landing on the other section, so it is unlikely the pointer will land on the green section.
