Yeah, it can't be exactly because every time is different. Approach means it would be somewhere around 12%. The percentage doesn't change if you increase the number of spins.

Part a:  Can you possibly review what we did in the last problem and apply that here?  We found that the P of obtaining a blue marb was 1/4.
What is the P here, in this new question?

Please stick to topic, OK?  Math topic.

All we need to know here is that the spinner stops on J 12% of the time.
So, if we spin it 1000 times, or 10000, or 1000000, the spinner will tend to stop on J 12% of the time.  That's it.
