A spinner has red, green, blue and orange sections. The probability of landing on red is 2/3,on green 1/12, on blue is 1/12. What is the probability of landing on orange.

Respuesta :

Answer: P(landing on orange)=1 - [2/3 + 1/12 + 1/12]

so =1/6

The probability of landing on orange is 1/6.

What is Probability ?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur.

The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

Probability Formula = f/n

where,

f is the number of times an event occurs

n is the total number of trials

It is given that

The probability of landing on red is 2/3, on green 1/12, on blue is 1/12.

The probability of happening a event is P , then Probability of not happening is 1-P

the probability of landing on orange

= 1- { (2/3) +(1/12)+(1/12)}

=1/6

Therefore the probability of landing on orange is 1/6.
