Question

If you spin the spinner 55 times, what is the best prediction possible for the number of times it will land on pink? (WORTH 30 POINTS)

Answer 1

45 times

Explanation:

There are nine pink sections and 11 sections total. The probability of landing on a pink section is 9/11.

Multiply the probability by 55

`(9)/(11)` ×
`(55)/(1)`

Cancel the 11 and 55. The 11 becomes a 1 and 55 becomes a 5

`(9)/( 1)` ×
`(5)/(1)`

45
