@Mertsj and @jim_thompson5910 please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/12 but 1/3 reduced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj but how do i know many will be on 150 spins?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how did you get 4/12 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are you saying that there are 4 odd numbers (from 1 to 12)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

list out the numbers from 1 to 12 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 then pick out the odd ones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,3,5,7,9,11..... i ment 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

better, so it's 6/12 = 1/2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good you beat me to it lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so if you expect half of the spins to be odd numbers, then how many times do you expect to land on an odd number if you do it 150 times?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then would i divide 150?... i got 75?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or multiply by 1/2, but yeah it's 75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!
