There is no answer for this exercise
Practice makes perfect

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 part number seven 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 a number seven.

Out of these, there are 0 such outcomes, which is also the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(7).

P=Favorable Outcomes/Possible Outcomes
P(7)=0/6

0/a=0

P(7)=0

The probability of a spinner landing on a number seven is 0.
