A spinner has 8 equally sized sections labeled as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. In 160 spins, how many times can you expect the spinner to land on a consonant?

Answer 1

Out of the 8 sections, 5 are consonants (B, C, D, F, G). So the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin is 5/8.

In 160 spins, the expected number of times the spinner will land on a consonant is:

160 spins x (5/8) = 100

Therefore, you can expect the spinner to land on a consonant 100 times in 160 spins.
