To determine the probability of spinning an odd number, we first need to know the range of numbers that can be spun. Typically, spinners are numbered in a certain range. For example, if the spinner is divided into numbers from 1 to 10, we can analyze the odd numbers within that range.
1. **Count the total possible outcomes**: If the spinner is numbered from 1 to 10, the total outcomes are 10.
2. **Identify the favorable outcomes**: The odd numbers between 1 and 10 are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. There are 5 odd numbers.
3. **Calculate the probability**: The probability \( P \) of spinning an odd number can be calculated using the formula:
\[
P(\text{odd}) = \frac{\text{Number of odd outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
So, if the spinner is numbered from 1 to 10, the probability of spinning an odd number is \(\frac{1}{2}\) or 50%.
If your spinner has a different range or set of numbers, please provide those details, and I can recalculate the probability accordingly.
