A spinner labeled with the letters of the word HONEST is to be spun once. Describe the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space

The word HONEST has 6 letters. If we imagine a spinner with 6 sections labeled with each of these letters, the sample space would contain 6 sections.

Out of these 6 sections, 5 would be unshaded (H, O, N, E, T) and 1 would be shaded (S). Therefore, the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space is 5/6 or approximately 0.8333.
