The spinner is decided into 8 equal sections.2-e,3-a,1 b,1c,1d.If the spinner is spun 120 times how many times will the arrow land on E?
Best estimate = 2/8 * 120 = ?
To find the number of times the spinner will land on the section labeled "E" when spun 120 times, we need to calculate the probability of landing on "E" in one spin, and then multiply it by the total number of spins.
In this case, we are given the distribution of the spinner sections:
2-E
3-A
1-B
1-C
1-D
To find the probability of landing on "E", we take the number of sections labeled "E" (2) and divide it by the total number of sections (8).
Probability of landing on E = 2/8 = 1/4
Now, we can find the number of times the arrow will land on "E" by multiplying the probability by the total number of spins:
Number of times arrow will land on E = Probability of landing on E * Total number of spins
= (1/4) * 120
= 30
So, the arrow will land on "E" approximately 30 times when the spinner is spun 120 times.
