To predict the number of times the spinner will land on yellow or pink when spun 72 times, we first need to know the probability of landing on yellow or pink.
Assuming the spinner has equal sections for each color, let’s say yellow and pink together account for a specific portion of the spinner. If yellow and pink make up 50% of the spinner, we can use that percentage for our calculation.
1. Calculate the probability:
– Probability of landing on yellow or pink = 50% (or 0.5)
2. Multiply by the total spins:
– Expected number of times landing on yellow or pink = 0.5 * 72 = 36
So, the best prediction for the number of times it will land on yellow or pink is 36 times.
If the percentages differ, simply adjust the calculation using the actual probability. Let me know if you have further details or need additional information!
