I'll solve this probability worksheet step by step.
First Spinner (with numbers):
The spinner is divided into 6 equal sections:
- Two sections have "1"
- One section has "2"
- One section has "3"
- Two sections have "4"
Total sections = 6
Question 1: Probability of landing on a 3
- There is 1 section with "3" out of 6 total sections
- Probability = 1/6
Question 2: Probability of landing on a 1
- There are 2 sections with "1" out of 6 total sections
- Probability = 2/6 = 1/3
Question 3: Probability of landing on a 2
- There is 1 section with "2" out of 6 total sections
- Probability = 1/6
Question 4: Odd vs Even numbers
- Odd numbers: 1, 1, 3 (three sections)
- Even numbers: 2, 4, 4 (three sections)
- Both have 3 sections each, so they are equally likely
Second Spinner (with colors):
The spinner is divided into 4 equal sections:
- Two sections are "red"
- One section is "blue"
- One section is "orange"
Total sections = 4
Question 5: Probability of landing on red
- There are 2 sections with "red" out of 4 total sections
- Probability = 2/4 = 1/2
Question 6: Probability of landing on orange
- There is 1 section with "orange" out of 4 total sections
- Probability = 1/4
Question 7: Probability of landing on a primary color
- Primary colors are: red, blue, yellow
- On this spinner we have: red (2 sections) and blue (1 section)
- Total primary color sections = 2 + 1 = 3
- Probability = 3/4
Final Answer:
1. 1/6
2. 1/3 (or 2/6)
3. 1/6
4. Equally likely - there are 3 odd number sections (1, 1, 3) and 3 even number sections (2, 4, 4), so you have the same chance of spinning either.
5. 1/2 (or 2/4)
6. 1/4
7. 3/4
