Question

the probability of the spinner landing on a 2 is 1/3. How many times would you expect to land on a 2 if you spin the spinner 12 times?

Answer 1

The expected number of times to land on a 2 when spinning the spinner 12 times is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times we would expect to land on a 2 if we spin the spinner 12 times, we can multiply the probability of landing on a 2 by the number of spins.

The probability of landing on a 2 is 1/3, and we are spinning the spinner 12 times. So, we can calculate the expected number of times landing on a 2 as follows:

Expected number of times = Probability of 2 x Number of spins

Expected number of times = (1/3) x 12 = 4 times
