Lilliana Medina · Answer 1

Possible outcomes (sample space) = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

Number of outcomes, n = 8

Probability of landing on 5

= 1 outcome / n outcomes

Tony Doyle · Answer 2

Well since there are eight sections of 1-8 that meanst there are 8 different number 5s, and since there are eight sections of 8 it becomes 64, so if my math is correct 8/64ths of the time or 1/8. It might be wrong but I tried.
