Question

Based on the results, if Steven spins each spinner 60 times, which statement is true?

A. Spinner 1 would land on orange 6 more times than Spinner 2 would land on purple.
B. Spinner 1 would land on orange the same number of times that Spinner 2 would land on purple.
C. Spinner 1 would land on orange half as many times as Spinner 2 would land on purple.
D. Spinner 1 would land on orange 10 more times than Spinner 2 would land on purple.

Answer 1

Based on the results of spinning each spinner 60 times, the statement that is true is Option C: Spinner 1 would land on orange half as many times as Spinner 2 would land on purple. So, the correct option is C. Spinner 1 would land on orange half as many times as Spinner 2 would land on purple.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which statement is true based on the results of spinning each spinner 60 times, we need to compare the probabilities of landing on orange with the probabilities of landing on purple.

The probability of landing on orange with Spinner 1 is calculated by dividing the number of times orange appeared by the total number of spins, which is 20/60 = 1/3.

The probability of landing on purple with Spinner 2 is calculated the same way, which is 40/60 = 2/3.

Therefore, the correct statement is Option C: Spinner 1 would land on orange half as many times as Spinner 2 would land on purple.
