spinner with 9 equal sections labeled with the letters A, A, B, B, B, C, C, C, and D is spun 198 times. Which of the following correctly predicts how many times the spinner will land on the letter B?
Based on equal sections, the probability of landing on each letter is as follows:
- A: 2/9
- B: 3/9
- C: 3/9
- D: 1/9
To predict how many times the spinner will land on the letter B out of 198 spins, we can multiply the probability of landing on B by the total number of spins:
(3/9) * 198 = 3 * 22 = 66
Therefore, the spinner is expected to land on the letter B 66 times out of 198 spins.
