Question
Elke has a fair spinner with 4 equal-sized sections labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Elke plans to spin the spinner 100 times. Predict approximately how many times the spinner will land on 2. Explain your answer.(2 points)
Since the spinner has 4 equal-sized sections, each section has an equal probability of landing face up when spun. Therefore, the probability of landing on 2 is 1/4 or 0.25.
To predict approximately how many times the spinner will land on 2 out of 100 spins, we can multiply the probability of landing on 2 by the total number of spins: 0.25 x 100 = 25.
Therefore, we can predict that the spinner will land on 2 approximately 25 times out of 100 spins.
