1. A spinner is divided into six equally sized regions.
Two of the regions are labeled 6, two of the regions are labeled 2, one region is labeled 1,
and the last region is labeled 3. The spinner is spun 750 times.
(a) How many times is the spinner expected to land on 6?
(b) How many times is the spinner expected to land on a prime number?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(a) 2/6, or 1/3 of 750, which is 250 times. ANSWER
(b) (2/6) related to regions labeled 2 PLUS (1/6) related to region labeled 3.
The total is 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2.
1/2 of 750 is 375 times. ANSWER
