Options :
A: Spinner 1 is more likely to land on section A because it has two sections labeled A ans spinner 2 has only one section labeled A
B:Spinner 1 is more likely to land on section A because the fraction of the spinner covered by section A is greater on spinner 1 than on spinner 2
C: Spinner 2 is more likely to land on section A because all of its outcomes are equally likely and Spinner 1's outcomes are not equally likely.
D: Spinner 2 is more likely to land on section A because the fraction of the spinner covered by section A is greater on Spinner 2 than on spinner 1.
Answer:
B:Spinner 1 is more likely to land on section A because the fraction of the spinner covered by section A is greater on spinner 1 than on spinner 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For spinner 1 :
A covers 2 out the of the 4 sections, hence,
Probability that the spinner will land on A is 2 / 4 = 1/2
While for spinner 2 ;
There are 3 sections of which A covers one of them ;
Hence, Probability that spinner lands on A for spinner 2 is ;
1 / 3
1/2 > 1/3
