How many possible outcomes are there if you spin this spinner?
Answer: When we spin the spinner there aqred four equally likely outcomes. When we roll the die, there are six different, equally likely outcomes. According to the Fundamental Counting Principle, if we spin the spinner and roll the die, the3 number of equally likely outcomes is 4 times 6 = 24.
How many possible outcomes are there when spinning a spinner numbered from 1 to 8?
8 possibilities
Explanation: If you spin the spinner once, there are 8 possibilities each time (1-8). The possibility of landing on the number 8 is 1 of these 8 possibilities.
How many possible outcomes are there if you spin 4 spinners labeled red blue yellow green purple?
The answer is there are 16 possible outcomes.
What is the probability of rolling an even number or a multiple of 3?
Explanation: The probability of rolling a 3 is 16 . The probability of rolling an even number is 36 .
What is the probability of the spinner landing on 1 or 3?
The probability of spinning a 1 or a 3 is 2 / 5 .
How many possible outcomes are there for tossing 3 coins?
The sample space of a sequence of three fair coin flips is all 23 possible sequences of outcomes: {HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT}.
How many possible outcomes are there in tossing 4 coins?
16 possible outcomes
Each coin has two possible outcomes – heads or tails. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is: 2×2×2×2=16 possible outcomes.
How many different possible outcomes are there if you spin 2 spinners labeled Red Blue Yellow Green?
four possible outcomes
There are four possible outcomes for each spin: red, blue, yellow, green.
How is the probability of spinning a spinner calculated?
The sample space is the list of all possible outcomes that the spinner can land on. We will write the probability of spinning a 1 as a fraction. This probability is equal to the amount of ‘1’s divided by the total amount of numbers on the spinner.
Which is more likely to spin a 2 or a 3?
Spinning a 2 and spinning a 3 are equally likely on this spinner because there is the same probability of each outcome occurring. The probability of spinning a 5 is 1 / 8 . We have filled our sample space with the probabilities of spinning each outcome. We can check that our fractions all add up to 8 / 8 or one whole.
Why is spinning a 1 the most likely outcome?
We can see that spinning a 1 is the most likely outcome because it has the biggest probability of occurring. When teaching probability, a common misconception is that if something is the most likely then we will expect it to occur most of the time.
How often does a spinner land on a number?
There are 8 numbers in total on the spinner. There are 3 ones on the spinner. The probability of spinning a ‘1’ is 3 / 8 . The spinner will land on a ‘1’ three times out of every eight. The probability of the spinner landing on a number is equal to the fraction of the spinner that this number occupies.
