To determine how many times the spinner will land on the letter B when spun 198 times, we first need to calculate the probability of landing on B in a single spin.
The spinner has 9 sections:
- A: 2 sections
- B: 3 sections
- C: 3 sections
- D: 1 section
The probability of landing on B is the number of B sections divided by the total number of sections: \[ P(B) = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \]
Now, to find out how many times B lands when the spinner is spun 198 times, we multiply the total number of spins by the probability of landing on B: \[ \text{Expected number of B} = 198 \times \frac{1}{3} = 66 \]
So, the spinner is expected to land on the letter B approximately 66 times in 198 spins. The correct answer is: 66 times.
