Answer :

Given the spinner above, with 8 possible outcomes

[tex]P_r(x)=\frac{n(x)}{n(T)}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} n(x)=\text{ number of numbers greater 3 }\mleft\lbrace4,5,6,7,8\mright\rbrace\text{ is 5} \\ n(T)=\text{ total number of outcomes }\mleft\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\mright\rbrace\text{ is 8} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the probability of spinning a number greater than 3 is

[tex]P_r(x)=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Hence,the probability of spinning a number greater than 3 is 5/8

Option A is the correct answer
