To find the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant, we need to add up the frequencies of the outcomes of K, N, and D (consonants) and divide it by the total number of spins:
P(consonant) = (120 + 105 + 135) / 500
P(consonant) = 360 / 500
P(consonant) = 0.72
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72, which corresponds to the option:
• 0.72
Outcomes| K | I | N | D |
Frequency| 120 | 140 | 105 | 135 |
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K, I, N, D. Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?
• 0.45
• 0.72
• 0.28
• 0.24
