Question

A spinner has four equal sections, with one letter from the word “MATH” in each section. You spin the spinner 20 times. About how many times do you expect it will land on A? answer should be a percent

Answer 1

The percentage of A occurring is 25%

Explanation:

Given:

4 sections are there

M A T H

number of spins, n = 20

In one spin, the probability of getting A is 1/4

In 20 spins, the probability of getting A is

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{x}{20} \\\\x = 5$

Percentage of A occuring = $\frac{5}{20} X 100$

                                           = 25%
