A spinner has 8 equally sized sections labeled as A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. In 160 spins, how many times can you expect the spinner to land on a consonant?
The spinner is expected to land on a consonant blank times?
(Consonant: a, e, i, o,u,)
Out of the 8 sections on the spinner, 5 are consonants (B, C, D, F, and G).
Therefore, the probability of the spinner landing on a consonant in one spin is 5/8.
To find the expected number of times the spinner will land on a consonant in 160 spins, we can use the formula:
Expected number of times = Probability of landing on a consonant x Number of spins
Expected number of times = (5/8) x 160
Expected number of times = 100
Therefore, you can expect the spinner to land on a consonant 100 times in 160 spins.
