You spin spinner A. Which event has a greater likelihood? Explain your reasoning.
- Event 1: Spinning a number less than 1
Event 2: Spinning a number greater than 1
- Event 1: Spinning a multiple of 3
Event 2: Spinning a number greater than 3
-
- Event 2 has a greater likelihood because there are 5 numbers that are greater than 1 on the spinner.
- There are only 2 multiples of 3. There are 3 numbers that are greater than 3. So, Event 2 is more likely.
