Answer:

In the question the number categories on the spinner are not given.

Consider there are 4 different categories on the spinner and one of them is "Action".

So, probability of land on "Action" = P(A) = 1/4

Number of spins, n= 60 times

The expected number of land on "Action" = n times P(A)

The expected number = 60 * 1/4 = 15
