Question

A) The pointer lands on an even number more often than expected

B)The pointer lands on an even number less often than expected
C)The expected probability of landing on an even number is 54%
D) The actual probability of landing on an odd number is 46%
E) It is equally likely that the pointer will land on an event or odd number ​

Answer 1

The correct answers are A, D, and E.

Explanation:

The expected probability of the spinner landing on an even number is 50%, or 125 times. However, it lands on an even number 135 times, which is equal to 54%. This is more than expected. The actual probability is the probability after an experiment has been conducted, therefore the actual probability of landing on an odd number is 46%. The expected probability is the probability before an experiment is conducted, so it is 50%. It is equally likely for the spinner to land on an even or odd number, because each spin is an independent event.

I hope this helps!
