Question

This table shows outcomes of a spinner with 3 equal sections colored orange, blue, and white. Based on the outcomes, enter the number of times the arrow is expected to land on the orange section if it is spun 20 times.

Orange: 30
Blue: 34
White: 36

Answer 1

The probability of landing on the orange section of the spinner is 30/(30+34+36) = 0.2941.
If the spinner is spun 20 times, we can expect it to land on the orange section approximately 0.2941 x 20 = 5.88 times.
Therefore, we can expect the arrow to land on the orange section 5.88 times if it is spun 20 times.
