When calculating probability, we are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability that a spun color is not brown we will use the Probability Formula.
P=Favorable Outcomes/Possible Outcomes
Let's take a look at the spinner.
The spinner has 8 sections, so the number of possible outcomes is 8. Out of these, 8 sections are not brown, which is the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(blue).
The probability of spinning a section that is not brown is 88. Next, we can rewrite the fraction as a decimal by calculating a quotient.
8/8 = 1
Finally, we can rewrite the probability as a percent. We know that 1 is always equal to 100 %.
