A spinner has 6 equally sized sections labelled as

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. In 160 spins, how many times can you expect to spin on a consonant?

1 answer

There are 8 sections on the spinner labelled as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.

Out of these, the consonants are B, C, D, F, G, H - a total of 6 consonants.

Therefore, the probability of spinning on a consonant in one spin is 6/8 = 3/4.

In 160 spins, you can expect to spin on a consonant 3/4 * 160 = 120 times.

Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant 120 times in 160 spins.
