Given:
Total number of congruent sections = 25
Orange sections = 12
Red sections = 4
Blue sections = 6
Purple sections = 3
To find:
The probability that the first spin will stop on a blue section.
Solution:
The probability that the first spin will stop on a blue section is the fraction of number of blue sections and total number of sections.
[tex]P=\dfrac{\text{Number of blue sections}}{\text{Total number of sections}}[/tex]
[tex]P=\dfrac{6}{25}[/tex]
[tex]P=0.24[/tex]
Therefore, the required probability is 0.24.
