To determine how likely the spinner is to stop on a multiple of 9, we need to know the range of numbers on the spinner and identify which of those numbers are multiples of 9.
Assuming the spinner is numbered in a typical range (e.g., 1 through 10, 1 through 12, etc.), let's analyze a few scenarios:
-
Spinner with numbers 1-10: The multiples of 9 are only 9. So, there’s 1 favorable outcome out of 10 possible outcomes. The probability is 1/10, which would be considered "unlikely."
-
Spinner with numbers 1-12: The multiples of 9 are again only 9. The probability is 1/12, which is also "unlikely."
-
Spinner with numbers 1-18: The multiples of 9 are 9 and 18. So, there are 2 favorable outcomes out of 18 possible outcomes. The probability is 2/18 or 1/9, which is still "unlikely."
-
Spinner with numbers 1-36: The multiples would be 9, 18, 27, and 36. There are 4 favorable outcomes out of 36 possible outcomes. The probability is 4/36 or 1/9, still considered "unlikely."
Without specific details of the spinner's layout, the general observations point towards the likelihood of landing on a multiple of 9 being categorized as "unlikely" for many common ranges.
Conclusion: Based on typical scenarios, the response would be "unlikely."
