Question

During a game, a spinner landed on several different colors. During a game, a spinner landed on several different colors.

Considering this data, how many of the next 13 spins should you expect to land on purple?

Answer 1

First, we need to find the experimental probability (probability using the provided data) of landing on purple.

Experimental probability of purple = # of purple / total #

Experimental probability of purple = 2 / 26 = 1 / 13 (simplified)

Next, we need to consider the probability in the context of 13 spins, as per the question. Our experimental probability tells us that 1 out of every 13 spins will be purple. Therefore, we can expect 1 of the next 13 spins to land on purple.

Answer: 1 spin

Hope this helps!
