Final answer:

The question lacks sufficient information to determine how many times the spinner lands on the red slot. Additional context or experimental data is necessary to provide an accurate answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question does not provide enough information to determine how many times the spinner lands on the red slot out of the given choices, which are 10, 12, 14, and 16. Since the probability of landing on red (P(red)) is indicated as 2, but without a denominator or comparison to the probabilities of landing on the blue and green sections, we cannot calculate the expected frequency for landing on red. Instead, the student can perform an experiment by spinning the spinner a large number of times and recording the results to obtain an empirical answer. Alternatively, if this is part of a larger problem or if additional information was provided elsewhere in the assignment, that information would be necessary to calculate the expected value or to determine how many times the spinner is likely to land on red
