Q. If you spin the spinner 1111 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will not land on blue?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 99\newline(B) 1010\newline(C) 1111\newline(D) 55
  1. Calculate Probability: First, we need to know the probability of the spinner not landing on blue. Assume the spinner has 44 equal sections, and only 11 section is blue. The probability of not landing on blue is 33 out of 44 sections, or 34\frac{3}{4}.
  2. Find Expected Number: Next, to find the expected number of times it will not land on blue in 1111 spins, multiply the probability by the number of spins: (34)×11=8.25(\frac{3}{4}) \times 11 = 8.25.
  3. Round to Nearest Whole: Since we can't have a fraction of a spin, we round 8.258.25 to the nearest whole number, which is 88. However, the choices given are 99, 1010, 1111, and 55. The closest and most reasonable choice from the options provided is 99.
