Question

Alina has a spinner that has 5 equal sections: red, blue, green, purple, and orange. She spins the spinner 200 times. About how many times should Alina expect the spinner to land on either purple or orange

Answer 1

Alina has a spinner that has 5 equal sections: red, blue, green, purple, and orange.

There are 5 parts in total and the spinner is expected to land on either purple or orange (2 colors).

So, it become $\frac{2}{5}=0.4$

As Aline spins the spinner 200 times, so the probability that the spinner will land on either purple or orange is :

$0.4\times200=80$

Hence, Alina should expect the spinner to land on either purple or orange 80 times.

Answer 2

The answer is 80 times hope this helps!
