Let's solve each question step by step based on the spinner shown in the image. The spinner has
10 equal-sized portions, numbered from
1 to 10.
So, the total number of possible outcomes = 10.
We'll go through each question one by one.
---
1) What is the probability of landing on 5?
There is only
one section labeled 5 out of 10.
$$
P(5) = \frac{1}{10}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{10} $
---
2) What is the probability of landing on an odd number?
Odd numbers between 1 and 10:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 → that’s
5 odd numbers
$$
P(\text{odd}) = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{2} $
---
3) What is the probability of landing on a number greater than 3?
Numbers greater than 3: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 → that’s
7 numbers
$$
P(>3) = \frac{7}{10}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{7}{10} $
---
4) What is the probability of landing on a number less than 5?
Numbers less than 5: 1, 2, 3, 4 → that’s
4 numbers
$$
P(<5) = \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{5} $
---
5) What is the probability of landing on a multiple of 3?
Multiples of 3 between 1 and 10: 3, 6, 9 → that’s
3 numbers
$$
P(\text{multiple of 3}) = \frac{3}{10}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{10} $
---
6) What is the probability of landing on a multiple of 5?
Multiples of 5 between 1 and 10: 5, 10 → that’s
2 numbers
$$
P(\text{multiple of 5}) = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{5} $
---
7) What is the probability of landing on 13?
The spinner only has numbers 1–10. There is
no 13.
$$
P(13) = \frac{0}{10} = 0
$$
✔ Answer: $ 0 $
---
8) What is the probability of landing on a number that is greater than 1, but less than 9?
Numbers greater than 1 and less than 9: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 → that’s
7 numbers
$$
P(1 < x < 9) = \frac{7}{10}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{7}{10} $
---
9) What is the probability of not landing on 2?
Total outcomes: 10
Only
one outcome is 2 → so
9 outcomes are not 2
$$
P(\text{not } 2) = \frac{9}{10}
$$
Alternatively:
$ P(\text{not } 2) = 1 - P(2) = 1 - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{9}{10} $
✔ Answer: $ \frac{9}{10} $
---
✔ Final Answers:
1) $ \frac{1}{10} $
2) $ \frac{1}{2} $
3) $ \frac{7}{10} $
4) $ \frac{2}{5} $
5) $ \frac{3}{10} $
6) $ \frac{1}{5} $
7) $ 0 $
8) $ \frac{7}{10} $
9) $ \frac{9}{10} $
