Answer:
Explanation:
To determine how many times you can expect to spin on a consonant in 160 spins, we first need to identify the consonants on the spinner. From the given information, we know that the spinner has 8 sections labelled as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Out of these 8 sections, we need to determine which ones are consonants. Consonants are all the letters in the English alphabet except for the vowels (A, E, I, O, U).
Therefore, the consonants on the spinner are B, C, D, F, G, and H.
Since there are 6 consonants out of the total 8 sections on the spinner, the probability of landing on a consonant in a single spin is 6/8 or 3/4.
To calculate the expected number of spins on a consonant in 160 spins, we multiply the probability of spinning a consonant in a single spin (3/4) by the total number of spins (160):
Expected number of spins on a consonant = (3/4) * 160 = 120.
Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant approximately 120 times in 160 spins.
