A spinner has 8 evenly spaced different colored sections. You spun the spinner 10 times and landed on yellow 2 times. How many times can you expect to land on yellow if you spin the spinner 100 times?

Question

A.
20

B.
10

C.
8

D.
5

Answer 1

B. 10

Since yellow was landed on 2 out of 10 times in the initial 10 spins, you can expect to land on yellow 1/5 times on average. Therefore, if you spin the spinner 100 times, you can expect to land on yellow 100 * (1/5) = 20 times.

Answer 2

so is it 20 or 10

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. It is 20 times that you can expect to land on yellow if you spin the spinner 100 times, not 10.
