Question

You spin the spinner once.

1234


What is P(not greater than 1)?

Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

To determine \( P(\text{not greater than } 1) \), we first identify how many outcomes on the spinner meet the condition of being not greater than 1.

The spinner has the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. Only the number 1 meets the criterion of being "not greater than 1."

So, there is 1 successful outcome (getting a 1) out of a total of 4 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, and 4).

The probability \( P \) is given by the formula:

\[
P(\text{not greater than } 1) = \frac{\text{Number of successful outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{1}{4}
\]

Now, to express this probability as a percentage, we multiply by 100:

\[
P(\text{not greater than } 1) = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25\%
\]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{25\%}
\]
