Jax is using the spinner shown for a probability experiment. The outcomes of his first 32 spins are in the table.

Question

Spinner Probability Experiment
Type of Number Number of Outcomes
Odd 20
Even 12



Based on the information in the table, in how many out of the next 80 spins will the spinner land on an odd number?

Answer 1

Since Jax has already spun the spinner 32 times, there are 80 - 32 = <<80-32=48>>48 spins left.
From the table, we can see that the probability of the spinner landing on an odd number is 20/32 = 5/8.
Out of the next 48 spins, the number of times the spinner will land on an odd number can be calculated by multiplying the probability by the number of spins: (5/8) * 48 = 30
Therefore, the spinner will land on an odd number in 30 out of the next 80 spins. Answer: \boxed{30}.
