Question

A spinner with 7 equal parts labeled G, A, B, C, D, E, F.
A point is chosen in the circle at random. Determine which of the statements are true. Check all that apply.
A. It is unlikely the point is in region A.
B. It is likely the point is in region C.
c. It is likely the point is in region G.
d. It is impossible for the point to be in region H.
e. It is certain that the point will land in a lettered region.

Answer 1

Each sector has equal area, so the probability of landing in any one labeled region = 1/7 ≈ 14.3%.

- A: True — 1/7 is unlikely (less than 50%).
- B (region C): False — 1/7 is not likely (>50%).
- C (region G): False — 1/7 is not likely.
- D: True — there is no region H, so it’s impossible.
- E: True — the circle is entirely covered by the seven lettered regions, so it’s certain the point is in a lettered region.

Answer: A, D, E.
