Both spinners shown are divided into congruent sections. Juanita spins both spinners, records the results, and repeats the process.%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AJuanita spins both spinners 40 times. What is a reasonable prediction for the number of times that NEITHER spinner will land on an odd number?
Since each spinner is divided into congruent sections, the probability of landing on an odd number is equal to the probability of landing on an even number for each spinner.
For each spinner, there are an equal number of odd and even numbers, so the probability of landing on an odd number is 1/2 and the probability of landing on an even number is also 1/2.
When spinning both spinners, the probability of NEITHER spinner landing on an odd number is equal to the product of the probabilities of each spinner landing on an even number, which is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.
Therefore, out of 40 spins, we can reasonably predict that NEITHER spinner will land on an odd number around 40 * (1/4) = 10 times.
