Question 524111: I'm not exactly sure where to go on this math problem but this is what is required:
Construct a spinner with three regions A, B, and C, but such that you would expect P (e) (A) = 1/2, P(e)(B)=1/3, and P(e)(C)=1/6 on, say, 18 spins. What size angles determine the regions A, B, and C?
Any help would be appreciated because I'm just not sure where to start with this question.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Construct a spinner with three regions A, B, and C, but such that you would expect P (e) (A) = 1/2, P(e)(B)=1/3, and P(e)(C)=1/6 on, say, 18 spins. What size angles determine the regions A, B, and C?
-----
1/2 of the spinner has to be region A ; angle size = 180 degrees
1/3 has to be region B : angle size = 120 degrees
1/6 has to be region C ; angle size = 60 degrees
