Question:
Tick (✓) the correct answer:
In a spinning wheel, there are 3 white and 5 green sectors. It is spinned. What is the probability of getting a green sector?
(a) $\frac{5}{3}$
(b) $\frac{5}{8}$
(C) $\frac{1}{5}$
(d) $\frac{3}{8}$
Solution:
(d) $\frac{3}{8}$
The wheel has a total of $5+3=8$ sectors.
Number of green sectors $=5$
Now, $\mathrm{P}_{\text {(getting a green sector) }}=\frac{5}{8}$
