PART B 6 5
About how many times would you expect the pointer
to land on a number less than 6 if the pointer is spun
300 times? Explain your answer.

About 188 times; Sample answer: The


probability of spinning a number
less than 6 is 58 , or 0.625. I multiplied
0.625 by 300, which is 187.5. Then
I rounded to 188.
