Question
What is the probability that the spinner will not land on a multiple of 3?
Solution
Sample space (S) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
n(S) = 8
Land in a multiple of 3 = {3, 6}
Land not a multiple of 3 = 8 – 2
= 6
Let E be the event of getting not a multiple of 6
n(E) = 6
P(E) = `("n"("E"))/("n"("S"))`
= `6/8`
= `3/4`
