Question

The spinner is shown has eight congruent sides the spinner is spun 200 times. What is a reasonable prediction for the number of times the spinner will land on 2 or 3

Answer 1

50 times

Explanation:

Total number of faces = total possible outcomes = 8

Number of 2 or 3 on spinner = required outcome = 2

Probability of obtaining a 2 or 3 = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(2 or 3) = 2 / 8 = 1/ 4

From 200 ; prediction for the number of 2 or 3

1/4 * 200

= 50 times
