Use the Probability Formula.
1/4
When calculating a probability, we are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability that a spinner would land on the blue section we will 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 4 sections on the spinner which is also the number of possible outcomes. Now we can find how many outcomes will result in the spinner landing on the blue part.
Out of these, there is 1 such outcome which is also the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(Blue).
The probability of the spinner landing on the blue section is 14, which can also be written as 1:4.
