Question

. The wheel is divided into eight same-sized sections, and three of those sections represent winning a gift certificate. Assuming the wheel is fair, approximately how many gift certificates are likely to be won if 528 customers spin the wheel​

Answer 1

Approximately 198 gift certificates are likely to be won if 528 customers spin the wheel.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the approximate number of gift certificates likely to be won, we can use the concept of probability. Since there are 8 sections on the wheel and 3 of them represent winning a gift certificate, the probability of winning a gift certificate in one spin is 3/8. To find the expected number of gift certificates won, we can multiply this probability by the number of spins (528):

Expected number of gift certificates won = (3/8) * 528 ≈ 198

Answer 2

Answer: 198

The probability of winning is 3/8 since there are 3 winning spaces out of 8 total.

We expect to have (3/8)*528 = 198 winners

Note how if we had 198 winners out of 528 total players, then the empirical probability of winning is 198/528 = 3/8
