A spinner has 8 equal sides 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?
There are a total of 8 sections on the spinner, out of which 5 are consonants (B, C, D, F, G) and 3 are vowels (A, E, H).
To calculate the expected number of spins on a consonant in 160 spins, we can use the proportion of consonant sections to total sections on the spinner:
Expected spins on a consonant = (Number of consonant sections / Total number of sections) * Total number of spins
Expected spins on a consonant = (5 / 8) * 160
Expected spins on a consonant = 5 * 20
Expected spins on a consonant = 100
Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant 100 times out of 160 spins.
