PROBABILITY
Formula: [tex] \scriptsize \begin{array}{c}\tt P= \frac{number \: of \: times \: an \: event \: can\: occur}{total \: number \: of \: possible \: outcomes} \end{array}[/tex]
[tex]\overline{\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad}[/tex]
[tex]\\[/tex]
*Note that the total number of possible outcomes is 8 since the spinner is divided into 8 parts. Thus, the denominator in each item is 8
*The occurrence of each figure will be the numerator.

1. Occurrence: [tex]\green{\tt 3}[/tex]
- The heart figure occured thrice in the spinner.
Probability: [tex]\green{\tt \frac{3}{8} }[/tex]
- We used the occurrence (3) as the numerator.
[tex]\\[/tex]
2. Occurrence: [tex]\green{\tt 1}[/tex]
- The crescent figure occured only once in the spinner.
Probability: [tex]\green{\tt \frac{1}{8} }[/tex]
- We used the occurrence (1) as the numerator.
[tex]\\[/tex]
3. Occurrence: [tex]\green{\tt 2}[/tex]
- The cloud figure occured twice in the spinner.
Probability: [tex]\green{\tt \frac{2}{8}\:or\:\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
- We used the occurrence (2) as the numerator, then got the simplified terms of the fraction.
[tex]\\[/tex]
4. Occurrence: [tex]\green{\tt 0}[/tex]
- The lightning figure did not occur in the spinner.
Probability: [tex]\green{\tt \frac{0}{8}\:or\:0}[/tex]
- We used the occurrence (0) as the numerator.
*The spinner will never land on a lightning figure.
