The spinner has a total of 3 equal sections: 1 blue, 1 red, and 1 yellow.
To find the probability that the spinner will land on yellow, we use the formula for probability:
\[
\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}
\]
In this case, the number of favorable outcomes (landing on yellow) is 1, and the total number of outcomes (total sections on the spinner) is 3.
So the probability that the spinner will land on yellow is:
\[
\frac{1}{3}
\]
Thus, the probability that the spinner will land on yellow is \(\frac{1}{3}\).
