When calculating probability, you are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability that a spinner would land on a number five we should use the Probability Formula.
P=Favorable Outcomes/Possible Outcomes
Now, we can look at the spinner and find the number of possible outcomes.
There are 6 numbers on the spinner, which is also the number of possible outcomes. To find favorable outcomes, we should calculate how many outcomes result in a spinner landing on number 5.
Out of these, there is 1 such an outcome, which is also the number of favorable outcomes. Now, we have enough information to calculate P(5).
