Theo is using this spinner to predict the favorite movie genre of randomly chosen students in his school.
A spinner with 5 sections labeled action, drama, sci-fi, horror, comedy.
If Theo spins the spinner 60 times, how many times should he expect it to land on “Action”?
10
12
15
20
The probability of the spinner landing on "Action" is 1/5, as there are 5 sections in total.
Expected number of times it will land on "Action" = (Total number of spins) x (Probability of landing on "Action")
Expected number of times it will land on "Action" = 60 x (1/5)
Expected number of times it will land on "Action" = 12
Therefore, Theo should expect the spinner to land on "Action" 12 times out of 60 spins.
So the answer is 12.
