Answer 1

To find the probability \( P(purple) \), we need to identify the number of favorable outcomes (landing on a purple section) and the total number of possible outcomes (all sections on the spinner).

Given that the spinner has 4 equal-sized sections and you typically would have 1 of these sections be purple, we can conclude:

- **Favorable outcomes (Landing on purple)**: 1 (assuming there is 1 purple section)
- **Total outcomes (Total sections)**: 4

Now we can write the probability:

\[
P(purple) = \frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Thus, the completed statement will be:

\[
P(purple) = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[
\text{equals} \, \frac{1}{4}
\]
