Answer:
The required probability is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] or 0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The spinner is spin twice and we want the sum should be 5.
We can get 5 if first spin gives us 2 and second spin gives 3.
Or we can get 5 if first spin gives us 3 and second spin gives 2.
There are 8 section out off which Three sections numbered 1, one section numbered 2, and four sections numbered 3.
The probability of getting 2 is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
The probability of getting 3 is [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]
Now, the probability that the sum of the two spins will be five is:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}\times \frac{4}{8}+\frac{4}{8}\times \frac{1}{8} =\frac{4}{64}+\frac{4}{64}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Hence, the required probability is [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] or 0.125
