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 an even number 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 six values. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes is 6. An even number is any integer that is divisible exactly by 2. Let's see how many even numbers there are in the spinner.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
There are 3 even numbers. This is the number of favorable outcomes. Now we have enough information to calculate P(even).
