Which outcome is least likely when spinning the arrow on this spinner?
First, letβs see how many different outcomes there are. In this case, weβll need to see how many different letters the arrow could fall on. It could fall on π, π, π
, or π. To answer the question about likelihood though, we need to count how many chances you have that your arrow will fall on π, π, π
, or π.
There are five πβs on our spinner. That means that there are five chances that the arrow will land on π. At the same time, there is only one π on the spinner. Only one chance it will land on the π, two πβs, and two π
βs.
Our question is which outcome is least likely β the smallest chance. Because thereβs only one π on our spinner and there are two π
βs, two πβs, and five πβs, it is least likely that the arrow will land on π.
