When calculating a probability, we are comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. To calculate the probability of a spinner landing on a white 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.
On the spinner there are 1 green, 2 red, and 3 blue parts. The sum of these values is the number of possible outcomes.
1+2+3= 6
Note that there are no white parts. Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes is 0. Now we have enough information to calculate P(white).
