1. Problem Description
The problem asks for the probability of landing on "beaver" when spinning a spinner. The spinner is divided into equal sectors with "beaver", "otter", and "turtle". We need to calculate and round the answer to 2 decimal places.
2. Solution Steps
The spinner has 3 equally sized sectors: beaver, otter, and turtle.
The probability of landing on each sector is equal since the sectors have equal area.
The probability of landing on any one sector is:
In this case, the total number of outcomes is 3 (beaver, otter, turtle).
We want to find the probability of landing on beaver, so the number of favorable outcomes is
1.
Now we convert this fraction to a decimal and round to two decimal places:
Rounding to two decimal places, we get .
