Q. If you spin the spinner 88 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on blue or yellow?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 88\newline(B) 77\newline(C) 44\newline(D) 66
  1. Calculate Probability: First, we need to know the probability of the spinner landing on blue or yellow. Let's assume the spinner has equal sections for blue, yellow, red, and green. So, the probability of landing on either blue or yellow is 12\frac{1}{2} (since 22 out of 44 colors are blue or yellow).
  2. Find Expected Number: Next, to find the expected number of times it will land on blue or yellow in 88 spins, we multiply the total spins by the probability of landing on blue or yellow. Calculation: 88 spins ×12=4\times \frac{1}{2} = 4 times.
  3. Check Closest Choice: Now, we check the choices given to see which is closest to our calculation of 44. The choices are (A)8(A) 8, (B)7(B) 7, (C)4(C) 4, (D)6(D) 6. Clearly, choice (C)(C) matches our calculation.
