Q. If you spin the spinner 8 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on blue or yellow?_____ times
Calculate Probabilities: First, let's figure out the probability of the spinner landing on blue or yellow. Suppose the spinner has 4 equal sections: blue, yellow, red, and green. This means each color has a 41 chance of being landed on. Since we're interested in blue or yellow, we add their probabilities: 41 (blue) + 41 (yellow) = 21.
Determine Expected Spins: Next, we need to calculate how many times out of 8 spins we can expect the spinner to land on either blue or yellow. We use the probability from the first step: 21. So, 21 of 8 spins should land on blue or yellow. 21×8=4.
