Total possible outcomes = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

Number of possible outcomes = 8

Let E be the event of pointing at a number less than 9

Since all the numbers on the wheel are less than 9, this is the sure event.

Number of favourable outcomes = 8

\therefore P(E) = \frac{favourable\ outcomes}{total\ outcomes} = \frac{8}{8} = 1
Therefore, the probability of pointing at a number less than 9 is 1
