A spinner labeled with the letters of the word HONEST is to be spun once. Describe the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space.
The spinner labeled with the letters of the word HONEST has 6 sections, with 3 unshaded sections (H, N, T) and 3 shaded sections (O, E, S). Therefore, the probability of landing on an unshaded section is 3 out of 6, or 1/2.
