Question

What is the theoretical probability that the spinner below will land on 6 if someone spins it 48 times?

Answer 1

1/4 or 12*

Explanation:

There are 8 possibilities. 2 of them are 6.

2/8=1/4

1/4 of 48 is 12

*The theoretical probability doesn’t change no matter how many times you spin the spinner. It will always be 1/4. (Or 0.25, or 25%). That could be what they’re asking. If you spun it 48 times, it would probably land on a six 12 times. That could also be what they’re asking for. 12:48 = 1:4.
