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 P(beaver)P(\text{beaver}) 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:
P(sector)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomesP(\text{sector}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}
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.
P(beaver)=13P(\text{beaver}) = \frac{1}{3}
Now we convert this fraction to a decimal and round to two decimal places:
1/3=0.3333...1/3 = 0.3333...
Rounding to two decimal places, we get 0.330.33.

3. Final Answer

0.330.33
