A spinner has 8 equally sized sections labeled as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. In 160 spins, how many times can you expect the spinner to land on a consonant?(1 point)
The spinner is expected to land on a consonant _______
times.
112 times
Explanation:
Out of the 8 sections, 5 are consonants (B, C, D, F, G). Therefore, the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin is 5/8.
To calculate the expected number of times the spinner will land on a consonant in 160 spins, we can use the formula:
Expected number of times = Probability of event happening x Total number of trials
Expected number of times = 5/8 x 160 = 100
Therefore, the spinner is expected to land on a consonant 100 times in 160 spins.
