Out of the 8 sections on the spinner, 5 (b, c, d, f, g) are consonants.
To find out how many times you can expect to spin a consonant in 160 spins, calculate the probability of spinning a consonant and then multiply it by the total number of spins:
Probability of spinning a consonant = number of consonants / total number of sections = 5/8 = 0.625
Expected number of spins of a consonant = Probability of spinning a consonant x Total number of spins = 0.625 x 160 = 100
Therefore, you can expect to spin a consonant 100 times in 160 spins.
a spinner has 8 equally sized sections labelled as a b c d e f g h in 160 spins how many times can expect to spin a consonant
