Answer 1

Answer: well i'm too young to answer this lol

1. 7

2. change the value of the colors. each color should have at least 1 or 2 points for each sector.

Step-by-step explanation:

2. dk how to explain this i'm running out of time

Answer 2

Answer:

The game is not fair

Step-by-step explanation:

A wheel with seven sectors:

Red Sectors  = 2   |  Probability  = 2/7

Purple sectors  = 2  |  Probability  = 2/7

Yellow sectors  = 2 |   Probability  = 2/7

Blue sectors  = 1  |  Probability  = 1/7

Landing on the blue sector will give 3 points,  => 3 * 1/7  = 3/7    points

landing on a yellow sector will give 1 point => 1 * 2/7 = 2/7   points

landing on a purple sector will give 0 points => 0 * 2/7  = 0   points

landing on a red sector will give –1 point.  =>  - 1 * 2/7  = -2/7 points

Expected value  =  3/7 + 2/7 + 0 - 2/7

= 3/7

Expected value  =  3/7

3/7   < 1/2

=> game is not fair

If expected value = 3.5/7 = 1/2  then game will be fair

hence if we make 3.5 points for Landing on the blue sector

then game will be fair.
