What is the probability of spinning a 2 on the spinner below?



1/4
1/3
3/8
3/5

1 answer

To determine the probability of spinning a 2 on a spinner, we need to know the total number of equal sections on the spinner and how many of those sections represent the number 2.

Assuming a common scenario for a spinner that is divided into equal sections (for example, numbered 1, 2, 3, etc.), let’s say there are a total of \( n \) sections, with only one section being the number 2.

The probability \( P \) of landing on the number 2 is calculated as:

\[ P(\text{spinning a 2}) = \frac{\text{Number of sections with 2}}{\text{Total number of sections}} = \frac{1}{n} \]

If you have a spinner in mind with certain sections listed, please provide that information to calculate the correct probability.

Given the options:

  1. \( \frac{1}{4} \)
  2. \( \frac{1}{3} \)
  3. \( \frac{3}{8} \)
  4. \( \frac{3}{5} \)

If, for example, the spinner has 4 sections, the probability of landing on 2 would be \( \frac{1}{4} \). If it has 3 sections, it would be \( \frac{1}{3} \), and so on.

Without additional details about the spinner, it’s not possible to choose the correct option. Please provide the number of sections or more details about the spinner.
