P (multiple of 5)
You spin a spinner that has 15 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 15 .Find the theoretical probability of landing on the given section(s) of the spinner.
Answer to Problem 7P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given section is :
P(multiple of 5)
Formula Used :
Calculation:
The total number of sections in the spinner = 15
The favourable number of outcomes of getting a number that is multiple of 5 = 3 (since there are 3 numbers that are multiple of 5 ={5,10,15})
Hence , the theoretical probability of landing on the section with number that is multiple of 5 is
