Question

A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which comes to rest pointing at one of the numbers $1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8$ and these are equally likely outcomes. What is the probability that it will point at an odd number:

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{2}$

Total number of outcomes $=8$
Favourable outcomes (odd number occurs) $=4$
Probability $=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$
