The spinner has 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?

Question

K 120
I 140
N 105
D 135
A. 0.45
B. 0.24
C. 0.72
D. 0.28

Answer 1

To find the probability of landing on a consonant on the next spin, we need to add the occurrences of the consonants K, N, and D, which total 120 + 105 + 135 = 360.

Then, we divide the total occurrences of consonants by the total number of spins: 360/500 = 0.72.

Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will land on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72, which is option C.
