Question

A spinner has four colours as shown in the figure. When we spin it once, find
a) At which colour, is the pointer more likely to stop?

e) Is there any colour at which the pointer certainly stops?

Philoid · Accepted Answer

a) The maximum number of partition on the spinner is of colors Red so the pointer is more likely to stop at color RED.

b) Color Yellow has only one partition so it is most likely to stop at it the least.

c) Since blue and green colors have equal partition on the spinner, it is more likely to stop on these two colors equally likely.

d) There is no white color partition on the wheel so there is no chance of spinner stopping on white color.

e) No, since it’s a random experiment all the colors have equal chance of being pointed by the spinner.
