Hamlet spins the spinner 13 times, and it stops at the letter R 9 times. If he spins the spinner a 14th time, what is the theoretical probability that this time it will stop at the letter R? 1 / 14 1 / 13 1 / 9 1 / 8

Hello!

The theoretical probability means what is the expected chance it would happen

Th find this you do the amount of favorable outcomes over the total amount of outcomes

There are 8 outcomes and only 1 is R

This is a 1 / 8 probability

The answer is 1 / 8

Hope this helps!
