Question

Elke has a fair spinner with 4 equal-sized sections labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Elke plans to spin the spinner 100 times. Predict approximately how many times the spinner will land on 2. Explain your answer in 3 simple sentences or less.

Answer 1

Since the spinner has 4 equal sections, the probability of landing on any specific number, including 2, is 1/4. If Elke spins the spinner 100 times, we can expect it to land on 2 approximately \(100 \times \frac{1}{4} = 25\) times. Therefore, it's predicted that the spinner will land on 2 about 25 times.
