spinner with 9 equal sections labeled with the letters A, A, B, B, B, C, C, C, and D is spun 198 times. Which of the following correctly predicts how many times the spinner will land on the letter B?

1 answer

Based on equal sections, the probability of landing on each letter is as follows:
- A: 2/9
- B: 3/9
- C: 3/9
- D: 1/9

To predict how many times the spinner will land on the letter B out of 198 spins, we can multiply the probability of landing on B by the total number of spins:

(3/9) * 198 = 3 * 22 = 66

Therefore, the spinner is expected to land on the letter B 66 times out of 198 spins.
