To predict how many times the spinner will land on yellow after spinning it 72 times, we first need to know the probability of landing on yellow. If the spinner has 4 equal sections (for example, red, blue, yellow, and green), then the probability of landing on yellow is 1/4.
Now, you would calculate the expected number of times it lands on yellow by multiplying the total spins by the probability:
Expected times on yellow = Total spins × Probability of yellow
If the probability of landing on yellow is 1/4, then:
Expected times on yellow = 72 spins × (1/4) = 18 times
So the best prediction for the number of times it will land on yellow is 18 times.
