A spinner has 7 equally sized sections labeled as I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P.

In 210 spins, how many times can you expect to spin on a consonant?

1 answer

There are 5 consonants out of the total 8 sections on the spinner (J, K, L, M, N, P).

So, the probability of spinning on a consonant in one spin is 5/8.

In 210 spins, the expected number of times to spin on a consonant can be calculated as:

Expected number of spins on a consonant = 210 spins * (5/8) = 131.25 spins

Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant approximately 131 times in 210 spins.
