Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of equal sections : 20

Then the probability of the spinner's pointer landing on each section will be :-

[tex]\dfrac{\text{One}}{\text{Total sections}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{20}[/tex]

Since , the probability of landing the spinner's pointer at any section is equal.

Therefore, the probability of the spinner's pointer landing on section 5[tex]=\dfrac{1}{20}[/tex]
