Theoretical probability = number of successful outcomestotal number of outcomes 

To find the probability we need to find the number of outcomes that are greater than 2 and then divide it by the total number of outcomes on the spinner. 
If the spinner is labeled 1 through 8, so the outcomes that are greater than 2 are the outcomes from 3 to 8 and the total number of outcomes is 8. The number of outcomes greater than 2 is then 6. 
P(greater than 2)=68=6288=34
