Question 5
If you have a spinning wheel with 3 green sectors, 1 blue sector and 1 red sector, what is the probability of getting a green sector? What is the probability of getting a non-blue sector?

Open in App

Solution

There are five sectors. Three sectors are green out of five sectors. Therefore, probability of getting a green sector = $\frac{3}{5}$
There is one blue sector out of five sectors.
Non - blue sectors => 5 - 1 = 4 sectors.
Therefore, probability of getting a non - blue sector $\frac{4}{5}$
