Answer:
81%
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
We know that the probability of spinning a five is 19% since:
19/100 = 0.19 = 19%
However, we are looking for the probability of NOT spinning a five. So, we will have to find the probability sum of the remaining numbers (1, 2, 3 and 4).
2.
- The probability of spinning a one is 20% since:
20/100 = 0.2 = 20%
- The probability of spinning a two is 18% since:
18/100 = 0.18 = 18%
- The probability of spinning a three is 22% since:
22/100 = 0.22 = 22%
- The probability of spinning a four is 21% since:
21/100 = 0.21 = 21%
3.
Now we will add all of these probabilities together to find the total probability of NOT spinning a five!
20% + 18% + 22% + 21% = 81%
Therefore, the probability of not spinning a five is 81%.
(While writing all of this down, I realized it was completely unnecessary)
Basically, the total probability of all of these numbers is equal to 100%. The probability of spinning a five is 19% as we inquired above. Therefore, all we need to do is subtract 19% from 100%!
100% - 19% = 81%
