The number of times the spinner lands on a shaded section are 8 times.
What is the probability?
Probability is the branch of mathematics concerned with numerical descriptions of the likelihood of an event occurring or of a proposition being true.
We have,
2 Shaded sections are on a spinner,
8 unshaded sections are on a spinner,
10 total sections are on a spinner,
Therefore,
The probability of the spinner to land on a shaded section:
P = 2 ÷ 10 = 1 ÷ 5
consider x, the number of times the spinner lands on a shaded section.
If the spinner were spun 40 times:
so, [tex]\frac{x}{40} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
By cross multiplying we get,
5x = 40
x = 8
Hence, the number of times the spinner lands on a shaded section are 8 times.
