The spinner game at the school carnival has a long line, but Edgar thinks that the fun prizes are worth the wait. The spinner is divided into 4 unequal sections. As he moves up in line, Edgar notices the spinner results of the people ahead of him: 3 glow sticks, 5 bouncy balls, 8 whistles, and 2 foam gliders

Answer :

The probability of the spinner landing on whistle during Edgar's turn is 4/9

How to determine the probability?

The experimental results are given as:

3 glow sticks, 5 bouncy balls, 8 whistles, and 2 foam gliders

The total number of sample is:

Sample = 3 + 5 + 8 + 2

Sample = 18

The probability that Edgar's spin land on whistle is:

P(Whistle) = Whistle/Sample

This gives

P(Whistle) = 8/18

Evaluate

P(Whistle) = 4/9

Hence, the probability of the spinner landing on whistle during Edgar's turn is 4/9
