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?(1 point) wouldn't it be 6 not 5 consonant
The spinner is expected to land on a consonant
times.

Yes, you are correct. The spinner has 8 sections, but only 6 of them are consonants (B, C, D, F, G, H). Therefore, in 160 spins, you can expect the spinner to land on a consonant 6 times.
how
To calculate the expected number of times the spinner will land on a consonant, you need to find the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin and then multiply that by the total number of spins.
There are 6 consonants out of 8 sections on the spinner. So, the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin is 6/8 or 3/4.
To find the expected number of times the spinner will land on a consonant in 160 spins, you multiply the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin (3/4) by the total number of spins (160):
(3/4) * 160 = 120
Therefore, in 160 spins, you can expect the spinner to land on a consonant 120 times.
There are 6 consonants out of 8 sections on the spinner. So, the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin is 6/8 or 3/4.

so is this right
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation.
There are 6 consonants out of 8 sections on the spinner, giving a probability of 6/8 or 3/4 of landing on a consonant in one spin.
To find the expected number of times the spinner will land on a consonant in 160 spins, you multiply the probability of landing on a consonant in one spin (3/4) by the total number of spins (160):
(3/4) * 160 = 120
Therefore, in 160 spins, you can expect the spinner to land on a consonant 120 times. Thank you for pointing that out, and I apologize for the oversight.
