Question

Drag each tile to the correct box Laurie conducts an experiment where she spins the spinner shown below. The sections are all the same size Order the events from least likely to occur to most likely to occur. Landing on a multiple of 4 Landing on a ↓ 2 -digit number Landing on a prime number ↓ Landing on an odd number ↓ Landing on an even number

Answer 1

To order the events from least likely to occur to most likely to occur based on a typical spinner with equal sections, we need to consider the nature of each condition.

Let's assume the spinner includes numbers from 1 to 10, as this is a common range:

1. **Landing on a multiple of 4**: The multiples of 4 in this range are 4 and 8. There are 2 possible outcomes.
2. **Landing on a 2-digit number**: Assuming we are only spinning numbers 1-10, there are no 2-digit numbers available (so this event is impossible).
3. **Landing on a prime number**: The prime numbers from 1 to 10 are 2, 3, 5, and 7. There are 4 possible outcomes.
4. **Landing on an odd number**: The odd numbers from 1 to 10 are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. There are 5 possible outcomes.
5. **Landing on an even number**: The even numbers from 1 to 10 are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. There are also 5 possible outcomes.

Now we can order the events from least likely to most likely:

1. **Landing on a 2-digit number** (impossible, so least likely)
2. **Landing on a multiple of 4** (2 outcomes)
3. **Landing on a prime number** (4 outcomes)
4. **Landing on an odd number** (5 outcomes)
5. **Landing on an even number** (5 outcomes)

Since both "Landing on an odd number" and "Landing on an even number" have the same likelihood, they could be considered equally likely:

So the final order is:

1. Landing on a 2-digit number
2. Landing on a multiple of 4
3. Landing on a prime number
4. Landing on an odd number / Landing on an even number

If we need to strictly rank every event, we can place the odd and even together:

Least likely: Landing on a 2-digit number
Next: Landing on a multiple of 4
Next: Landing on a prime number
Next: Landing on an odd number / even number (equal likelihood)

Feel free to adjust the interpretation based on the actual sections of your spinner if it has different numbers!
