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?
To find the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin, we first need to determine how many sections on the spinner are labeled as consonants.
In this case, the only consonants on the spinner are "K" and "N", which means there are 2 out of 4 sections labeled as consonants.
Therefore, the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is:
2 (number of consonant sections) / 4 (total number of sections) = 1/2
So, the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is 1/2 or 0.5.
Wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:
There are 2 consonants on the spinner, which are "K" and "N". Therefore, the probability of landing on a consonant is 2 out of 4 sections.
Thus, the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is:
2 (number of consonant sections) / 4 (total number of sections) = 1/2
So, the correct probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is 1/2 or 0.5. Thank you for your patience.
