The spinner wheel is from 1 to 12.
If there is nothing wrong with the wheel, and the number 7 was spun five times in a row, what is the chance that 7 will come up again on the sixth spin?

The probability of spinning a 7 on any given spin is always 1/12, assuming the wheel is fair and all numbers are equally likely to appear. The fact that 7 has been spun five times in a row does not change this probability for the next spin. Each spin is an independent event, and the outcome of one spin does not affect the outcome of the next.

Therefore, the chance of spinning a 7 on the sixth spin is still 1/12, just as it was for the first five spins. This probability does not increase or decrease based on the previous outcomes.

If there is nothing wrong with the wheel and it is fair, the chance of spinning any particular number, including 7, is equal. Since the wheel has numbers from 1 to 12, there are 12 possible outcomes for each spin. Each spin is independent, so the outcome of previous spins does not affect the probability of the next spin.

Therefore, the chance of spinning a 7 on the sixth spin is the same as for any other spin:

1 (favorable outcome, spinning 7) / 12 (total possible outcomes) = 1/12 ≈ 0.0833

So, there is approximately an 8.33% chance that the number 7 will come up on the sixth spin, regardless of the previous spins' outcomes.
