A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K I N D Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcome of 500 spins. What is the probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?
The frequency if k is 120
The frequency if I is 140
The frequency of n is 105
The frequency of d is 135
To find the probability of the spinner landing on a consonant on the next spin, we need to add up the frequencies of the consonants (K, N, D) and divide it by the total number of spins.
Total frequency of consonants = 120 (K) + 105 (N) + 135 (D) = 360
Total frequency of all spins = 120 (K) + 140 (I) + 105 (N) + 135 (D) = 500
Probability = Total frequency of consonants / Total frequency of all spins
Probability = 360 / 500
Probability = 0.72
Therefore, the probability of the spinner landing on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72 or 72%.
