Question

i just need someone to check and see if these Probability and Statistics questions are right .....
A.Jose spins the spinner 8 times. In those 8 spins, the arrow never lands on 3. Based on this information, is the spinner unfair? Explain.
Well there only one number 3 so that will be (1/4) that equals 25% the spinner together equals 100% so if the spinner is spin 8 times and doesn't land on a 3 he should be concerned.

Answer 1

You've basically got the answer right, because the spinner is unfair. This is because, as you said, 1/4 is 25%, and 25% of 8 is 2 (8 ÷ 4). That means that the spinner should land on a 3 twice in the 8 spins, but it doesn't, meaning the spinner is most likely unfair. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The answer is correct.
