Step-by-step solution for: Probability Worksheets | Dynamically Created Probability Worksheets
Let's solve each question step by step using the two spinners provided in the image.
---
This spinner is divided into 8 equal sections with the following numbers:
- 1 → appears 1 time
- 2 → appears 2 times
- 3 → appears 2 times
- 4 → appears 3 times
So the total number of sections = 8.
We'll use this to calculate probabilities.
---
#### 1) What is the probability of the spinner landing on 1 or 3?
- Number of sections with 1 = 1
- Number of sections with 3 = 2
- Total favorable outcomes = 1 + 2 = 3
- Total possible outcomes = 8
$$
P(1 \text{ or } 3) = \frac{3}{8}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{8} $
---
#### 2) What is the probability of the spinner not landing on 3?
- Number of sections with 3 = 2
- So, not landing on 3 = 8 - 2 = 6 sections
$$
P(\text{not } 3) = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{4} $
---
#### 3) What is the probability of the spinner not landing on 2?
- Number of sections with 2 = 2
- Not landing on 2 = 8 - 2 = 6 sections
$$
P(\text{not } 2) = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{4} $
---
#### 4) What is the probability of the spinner landing on 1?
- Sections with 1 = 1
$$
P(1) = \frac{1}{8}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{8} $
---
#### 5) What is the probability of the spinner landing on 3?
- Sections with 3 = 2
$$
P(3) = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{4} $
---
#### 6) What is the probability of the spinner landing on 4?
- Sections with 4 = 3
$$
P(4) = \frac{3}{8}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{8} $
---
#### 7) What is the probability of the spinner not landing on 3 or 4?
- Sections with 3 = 2
- Sections with 4 = 3
- Total for 3 or 4 = 2 + 3 = 5
- So, not landing on 3 or 4 = 8 - 5 = 3 sections
$$
P(\text{not } 3 \text{ or } 4) = \frac{3}{8}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{8} $

This spinner has 6 equal sections, labeled:
- A → 1 section
- B → 1 section
- C → 2 sections
- E → 2 sections
Total = 6 sections
---
#### 8) Do you have an equal chance of landing on either B or C?
- B = 1 section
- C = 2 sections
- So, no — more chance of landing on C than B.
✔ Answer: No
---
#### 9) What is the probability of the spinner not landing on B or E?
- B = 1 section
- E = 2 sections
- B or E = 1 + 2 = 3 sections
- Not landing on B or E = 6 - 3 = 3 sections (which are A and C)
$$
P(\text{not } B \text{ or } E) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{2} $
---
#### 10) Do you have an equal chance of landing on either A or C?
- A = 1 section
- C = 2 sections
- So, no — higher chance of landing on C.
✔ Answer: No
---
#### 11) What is the probability of the spinner landing on A or B?
- A = 1 section
- B = 1 section
- Total = 2 sections
$$
P(A \text{ or } B) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{3} $
---
#### 12) What is the probability of the spinner not landing on B or C?
- B = 1
- C = 2
- B or C = 3 sections
- Not B or C = 6 - 3 = 3 sections (A and E)
$$
P(\text{not } B \text{ or } C) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{1}{2} $
---
#### 13) Do you have an equal chance of landing on either A or E?
- A = 1 section
- E = 2 sections
- So, no — more likely to land on E.
✔ Answer: No
---
#### 14) What is the probability of the spinner not landing on E?
- E = 2 sections
- Not E = 6 - 2 = 4 sections
$$
P(\text{not } E) = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{3} $

Spinner 1: Numbers (1, 2, 3, 4)
This spinner is divided into 8 equal sections with the following numbers:
- 1 → appears 1 time
- 2 → appears 2 times
- 3 → appears 2 times
- 4 → appears 3 times
So the total number of sections = 8.
We'll use this to calculate probabilities.
