Question

If a game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which is equally likely to come to rest pointing to one of the number 1,2,3……12 , then the probability that it will point to an odd number is:

  1. 1 over 6
  2. 1 half
  3. 7 over 12
  4. 5 over 12

hintHint:

We have to find the probability of getting odd number if the spinning arrow's resting points are from 1 to 12. Firstly we will find the total number of outcomes which is 12 as outcomes can be any number from 1 to 12, then we will find the number of possible outcomes i.e. the number of odd numbers. Further we will find the probability by dividing number of possible outcomes by total number of outcomes.

The correct answer is: 1 half


    Total number of outcome = 12
    No. possible outcome(no. odd nos. from 1 to 12 ) = 6
    Probability =6 over 12 equals 1 half
    So, the probability of getting the odd number is 1 half.

    Odd number is the numbers which are not divisible by 2.
