Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The probability of spinning a 5 is 1 / 8 .
Detailed explanation-2: -The event “the spinner points to an odd number” occurs when the “spinner stops on 1, ” “spinner stops on 3, ” or “spinner stops on 5.” That’s three of the five possible outcomes in our sample space, so its probability is 3/5.
Detailed explanation-3: -To calculate a spinner probability divide the number of sections that the item appears in by the total number of sections.
