Question

a spinner has sections that are numbered 1 through 6. naomi spins the spinner 12 times and records her results in the dot plot. use the results to predict the number of times the spinner will land on an even number in 240 trials. 100 times use the results to predict the number of times the spinner will land on a number less than 5 in 240 trials. times

Explanation:

Step1: Count total spins

From dot plot: $4+0+1+4+2+1 = 12$

Step2: Count spins <5

Even numbers are 2,4,6; counts: $0+4+1 = 5$. Wait, correction: numbers less than 5 are 1,2,3,4. Counts: $4+0+1+4 = 9$

Step3: Find experimental probability

$\text{Probability} = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$

Step4: Predict for 240 trials

$\text{Prediction} = 240 \times \frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

180 times
