A fair spinner, shown below, is spun 124 times. How many times should a spin of "3" occur?

A.
exactly 31 times
B.
exactly 62 times
C.
about 62 times
D.
about 31 times

1 answer

C. about 62 times

Since it is a fair spinner, each number has an equal chance of being spun. Therefore, if it is spun 124 times, "3" should occur approximately half of the time, which is around 62 times.
