Question

over the past year, becky has enjoyed 7 of the 9 movies recommended by her local newspaper. she wants to design a spinner she can use to simulate this situation and predict the probability that she will enjoy each of the next 5 movies the paper recommends. how should becky divide her spinner to best simulate this situation? 2 equal - sized sections 5 equal - sized sections 7 equal - sized sections 9 equal - sized sections

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze movie - enjoyment ratio

Becky enjoyed 7 out of 9 movies. To simulate this, the spinner should be divided into the total number of movies (the sample - size from which the enjoyment ratio is derived).

Step2: Determine spinner sections

The total number of movies recommended previously is 9. So, the spinner should be divided into 9 equal - sized sections to accurately represent the probability based on her past experience.

Answer:

9 equal - sized sections
