Answer:

White: 2/5

Dark: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 sections and there are 2 white spots and 3 dark spots.

So, 2 out of the 5 sections are white which is 2/5 and 3 out of the 5 sections is dark which is 3/5.

Answer:

  • The probability that the spinner lands on a white section is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] .
  • The probability that the spinner lands on a dark section is [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of sections = 5

The number of white sections = 2

The number of dark sections =3

Now, the probability that the spinner lands on a white section is given by :-

[tex]\text{P(white)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of white sections}}{\text{total sections}}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

Now, the probability that the spinner lands on a dark section is given by :-

[tex]\text{P(dark)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of dark sections}}{\text{total sections}}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
