Question

A spinner has 8 equal sectors with different letters for each sector, as shown below: a spinner with 8 equal sectors is shown. the sectors are labeled b, y, g, p, o, v, m, and r. hamlet spins the spinner 13 times, and it stops at the letter r 9 times. if he spins the spinner a 14th time, what is the theoretical probability that this time it will stop at the letter r? 1 over 14 1 over 13 1 over 9 1 over 8 question 4(multiple choice worth 1 points)

Answer 1

I THINK 1 over 8 not sure tho

Answer 2

Answer:

The theoretical probability of obtaining letter 'r' at the 14th spin is:

$\dfrac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A spinner has 8 equal sectors with different letters for each sector.

The sectors are labeled b, y, g, p, o, v, m, and r.

Hamlet spins the spinner 13 times, and it stops at the letter r 9 times.

We are asked to find the theoretical probability that we will get  letter r at the 14th spin.

The theoretical Probability is given as the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

Hence, the theoretical probability of obtaining letter 'r' at the 14th spin is:

$\dfrac{1}{8}$

( As there are a total of 8 outcomes( or 8 sectors) out of which there is only one sector which is red)
