A spinner is divided into five sections, labeled A, B, C, D, and E. Devon spins the spinner 50 times and records the results in
the table. Based on the table above, make a prediction for 200 trials.
Choose how you will answer this question below. Then, answer the question.
How many times will the pointer land on a vowel? (The vowels in this table are A and E.) Answer in complete sentences. Be sure to explain how you found your answer. Include calculations if necessary.
On the table, the chart says 10 times for A and 6 times for E. This means that the experimental probability for rolling a vowel in a trial of 50 rolls is 16/50.
The next step is create equal ratios. 16/50 = x/200. 50 times <u>4 </u> is 200 so 16 times <u>4 </u> is 64.
