Question

Outcomes K I N D
Frequency 120 140 105 135
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

The total frequency for consonants (K, N, D) is 120 + 105 + 135 = 360.

The total frequency for all outcomes is 500.

Therefore, the approximate probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant on the next spin is 360/500 = 0.72.

Therefore, the answer is 0.72.
