A spinner has 8 equally sized sections labelled as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. In 160 spins, how many times can you
expect to spin on a consonant? (1 point)
times
the answer is 120 trust me
?????????????//
A, B, C, D, F, G, H are consonants, so there are 7 consonants out of 8 total sections.
If we assume that each section is equally likely to be spun, we can calculate the expected number of times to spin on a consonant in 160 spins by multiplying the probability of spinning on a consonant by the total number of spins:
Expected number of spins on a consonant = 7/8 * 160 = 7 * 20 = 140
Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant 140 times in 160 spins.
I apologize for the confusion. Let's calculate it again:
Out of the 8 sections, 5 are vowels (A, E) and 3 are consonants (B, C, D, F, G, H).
The probability of spinning on a consonant is 3/8.
Expected number of spins on a consonant = (3/8) * 160 = 60
Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant approximately 60 times in 160 spins.
