To find the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant, we need to first determine which letters are consonants. In the given outcome, K and D are consonants, while I and N are vowels.
Next, we need to find the total frequency of all consonants. From the given frequency, we know that K appears 100 times and D appears 135 times. Adding these gives a total frequency of consonants as:
Total frequency of consonants = Frequency of K + Frequency of D
= 100 + 135
= 235
Therefore, out of the 500 spins simulated by Xavier's computer, the spinner is expected to stop on a consonant 235 times.
The probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant can be calculated as:
Probability of stopping on a consonant = (Frequency of consonants) / (Total number of spins)
= 235 / 500
= 0.47
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the spin is 0.47 or 47%.
Outcome K , I, N, D,.
Frequency K 100, I 140, N 105, D 135.
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as k, I, N, D.
Xavier reproduce the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the Outcome of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the spln
