Question

A board games game has a spinner divided into sections of equal size. Each section is labeled with a number between 1 and 5. Which number is a reasonable estimate of the number of times the spinner will land on a section labeled 5 over the course of 150 spins?

Answer 1

30 would be a reasonable estimate.

Since there are 5 sections, the probability of spinning a 5 is 1/5.

Multiply this probability by the number of spins (150):

1/5(150) = 150/5 = 30
