The word HONEST has 6 letters. If we imagine a spinner with 6 sections labeled with each of these letters, the sample space would contain 6 sections.
Out of these 6 sections, 5 would be unshaded (H, O, N, E, T) and 1 would be shaded (S). Therefore, the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space is 5/6 or approximately 0.8333.
