Calculating Probability
The probability is the number of favorable outcomes out of the number of possible outcomes.
For example: Consider the spinner given below.
Suppose this spinner is spun once. Let's find the probability of landing on purple.
In the given spinner, there are seven sections. So, there are 7 possible outcomes.
Out of 7 sections, 3 sections are purple. So, there are 3 favorable outcomes.
So, the probability that the spinner will land on purple is 3 out of 7.
