The Barker Brothers Toy Company needs your help in designing their latest new game. Here's how it looks:
Your job is to design the second player's spinner. Your spinner should be "fair". This means that the player using your spinner has an equal chance of winning as the player using the other spinner. Here's how you decide if your spinner is fair: Suppose you chose to put the numbers 0, 2, and 4 on your spinner, like this: The possible scores against the other spinner's scores is this: There are 3 x 4 = 12 possible combinations of your spinner's score against the other spinner's score, and your spinner only wins 3 of the 12 combinations. So your player will probably lose. It isn't fair!!. Design one where your spinner wins exactly half of the time. This makes it fair. Your response should be on the "GAME PROBLEM RESPONSE" page:
