Question

An experiment consists of spinning the spinner shown. All outcomes are equally likely. Find P(>5). Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Since the spinner has 5 sectors of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Since the probability of an event = outcome of this event/total outcomes

Since the total outcomes are 5

Since the event is the number greater than 5

Since there is no number greater than 5, then

The outcomes = 0

$\begin{gathered} P(>5)=\frac{0}{5} \\ P(>5)=0 \end{gathered}$

The answer is 0

The answer is option A
