3/6 = 1/2
The probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number depends on the number of odd numbers on the spinner and the total number of numbers on the spinner. If there are 3 odd numbers on the spinner and a total of 6 numbers, then the probability of landing on an odd number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2 or 50%.
The answer depends on how many of the 8 things are even and how many are odd. Since this information is not provided it is not possible to answer the question.
The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 (or rather, 1/2), so the probability of rolling an odd number three times in a row is 1/2^3 is 1/8 or 12.5%.
Assuming he has to pick a whole number his possible choices are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Four of these seven possibilities are odd numbers so the probability of him choosing an odd number is 4/7.
