I don't know. I'll have to figure it out.

Probability =

(number of successful possible results) / (total possible results) .

Total possible results for the spinner . . . 8
Successful ones (getting a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) . . . 5

Theoretical probability = 5/8 .

So you expect (5/8 of 150) spins to be successful.

(5/8 times 150) = 93.75

Yes !
93 or 94 is a good answer.
