Q. If you spin the spinner 6 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on green or pink?_____ times
Calculate Probability: First, let's figure out the probability of the spinner landing on green or pink. Suppose the spinner has 8 equal sections, 3 are green, and 2 are pink.
Total Favorable Outcomes: Calculate the total favorable outcomes for landing on green or pink: 3 (green) + 2 (pink) = 5.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of landing on either green or pink: P(green or pink)=8 total outcomes5 favorable outcomes=85.
Predict Number of Spins: Now, we need to predict how many times it will land on green or pink if spun 6 times. Expected number =Probability×Number of spins=85×6=3.75.
Round to Nearest Whole Number: Since we can't have a fraction of a spin landing on a color, we round 3.75 to the nearest whole number, which is 4.
