Answer:

The likelihood of landing on an odd number is even chance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A spinner contains the numbers 1 through 8. The probability of landing on an odd number is 1/2.

To find : What is the likelihood of landing on an odd number?

Solution :

A spinner contains the numbers 1 through 8 i.e. {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

The odd numbers are {1,3,5,7}.

The probability of landing on an odd number is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Likelihood is defined as the possibility of outcome.

A spinner that is divided to 8 equal parts.

So there is equal number of odd and even numbers.

The likelihood of landing on an odd number is even chance.
