Question

If a spinner divided into 2 sections is spun 5 times, how many outcomes are possible?

Answer 1

$2^5=32$

.................................

Answer 2

Answer:

If a spinner divided into 2 sections is spun 5 times, then the total number of outcomes which are possible are:

                                   32

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the spinner is divided into two sections this means that on each spin we may obtain any of the 2 outcomes.

This means when the sinner is spun n times then the total possible outcomes are:

2×2×2.......×2=2^n

Now, when the spinner is spun 5 times this means then n=5

Then the total possible outcomes are:

  $2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2=2^5=32$

            Hence, the answer is:  32
