A spinner has 8 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 point)

times

1 answer

112 times

There are 5 consonants (B, C, D, F, G) out of 8 total sections on the spinner.

To calculate the expected number of spins on a consonant, use the formula:
Expected number of spins = Total number of spins x Probability of spinning on a consonant
Expected number of spins = 160 x (5/8)
Expected number of spins = 100

Therefore, you can expect to spin on a consonant 100 times in 160 spins.
