Question

A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K I N D Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcome of 500 spins. What is the probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?

Answer 1

is it 0.28 or 0.24??

Answer 2

there is no 0.5 option. what else way can u say that?

Answer 3

There are 2 consonants out of 4 sections on the spinner, so the probability of stopping on a consonant on any given spin is 2/4 or 1/2. Since the outcomes of the spins are independent, the probability of stopping on a consonant on the next spin is also 1/2.

Answer 4

Neither 0.28 nor 0.24 is the probability of stopping on a consonant on the next spin. The probability is 1/2 or 0.5.

Answer 5

The probability of stopping on a consonant on the next spin can also be expressed as a decimal, which is 0.5 or as a percentage, which is 50%.
