5.If you have a spinning wheel with 3 green sectors, 1 blue sector and 1 red sector, what is the probability of getting a green sector? What is the probability of getting a non-blue sector?


Answer :

Out of the total 5 sectors, the pointer can stop at any of the sectors in 5 ways.
∴ Total number of outcomes = 5

There are 3 green sectors in the spinning wheel, out of which one can be obtained in 3 ways. ∴ Favourable number of outcomes = 3

So, the required probability for green sector= \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\)

Further, there are 4 ways to obtain a non-blue sector out of 4 non-blue present in the spinning wheel.

So, the required probability for non- blue sector = \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \)
