Ex15.1, 12 A game of chance consists of spinning an arrow which comes to rest pointing at one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (see the given figure), and these are equally likely outcomes. What is the probability that it will point at 8? Total numbers = 8 Number of times we can get 8 = 1 Probability of getting 8 Β = (π‘π‘’π‘šπ‘π‘’π‘Ÿ π‘œπ‘“ π‘‘π‘–π‘šπ‘’π‘  𝑀𝑒 π‘π‘Žπ‘› 𝑔𝑒𝑑 8)/(π‘‡π‘œπ‘‘π‘Žπ‘™ π‘›π‘’π‘šπ‘π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ ) = 1/8 Ex15.1, 12 (ii) Odd number?
