Question

Tick (✓) the correct answer:
In a spinning wheel, there are 3 white and 5 green sectors. It is spinned. What is the probability of getting a green sector?
(a) $\frac{5}{3}$
(b) $\frac{5}{8}$
(c) $\frac{1}{5}$
(d) $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer 1

(b) $\frac{5}{8}$

The wheel has a total of $5+3=8$ sectors.
Number of green sectors = 5
Now, ${\mathrm{P}}_{\left(\mathrm{getting}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{green}\mathrm{sector}\right)}=\frac{5}{8}$
