Since each spinner has an equal number of odd and even sections, there is a 50% chance that each spinner will land on an odd number. Therefore, the probability that NEITHER spinner will land on an odd number is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25.
With 40 spins, we can expect that 0.25 x 40 = 10 spins would result in NEITHER spinner landing on an odd number. This rounds to the closest reasonable prediction which would be 28 times.
Both spinners shown are divided into congruent sections. Juanita spins both spinners, records the results, and repeats the process.%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AJuanita spins both spinners 40 times. What is a reasonable prediction for the number of times that NEITHER spinner will land on an odd number?
