The sample space consists of 6 equally likely outcomes (S, T, H, O, N, E). There are 2 unshaded sections (T and N). Therefore, the probability of landing on an unshaded section is 2 out of 6, which simplifies to 1 out of 3.
So, the correct response is:
13. Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction
Use the image to answer the question.
A wheel is divided into 6 segments from the center toward circumference and labeled from the left as S, T, H, O, N, and E. The arrow of a needle points to O on the right and the circular end points to S on the left.
A spinner labeled with the letters of the word HONEST is to be spun once. Describe the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space.
