Question

Outcomes K I N D
Frequency 120 105 135
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K , I , N , D . Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?

Answer 1

To find the probability of landing on a consonant (letters K, N, or D), we first need to add up the frequencies of those outcomes.

Frequency of K = 120
Frequency of N = 105
Frequency of D = 135

Total frequency of consonants = 120 + 105 + 135 = 360

Total frequency of all outcomes = 120 + 105 + 135 + 0 (frequency of I) = 360

Probability of landing on a consonant = Frequency of consonants / Total frequency of all outcomes
= 360 / 500
= 0.72

Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72.

So, the correct answer is:

0.72

0.72
