A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K, I, M. D. Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?
Since the spinner only has 4 sections labeled K, I, M, and D, we can see that only 2 out of the 4 sections are consonants (K, M).
Therefore, the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is 2/4 or 1/2.
Approximate probability = 1/2 = 0.5
Therefore, Xavier has a 50% chance of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin.
