Answer 2

12 times.

Explanation:

Given:

A spinner with 5 sections labeled action, drama, sci-fi, horror, comedy.

Theo spins the spinner 60 times.

To find: Number of times, out of 60, the spinner lands on "Action".

Solution:

`\textrm{Probability}=\frac{\textrm{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total number of outcomes}}`

Here, total number of outcomes
`=5`.

Number of favorable outcomes
`=1`.

So, probability that the spinner lands on "Action"
`=(1)/(5)`.

Now, Theo spins the spinner 60 times.

So, number of times the spinner lands on "Action"
`=(1)/(5)*60=12`.

Hence, Theo should expect the spinner to land on "Action"
`12` times.
