The question, in short

A six-sided spinner labelled 1 to 6 is spun 50 times with results in a table; use the data to work out relative frequency for 4 and an expected count in 200 spins.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Using the table, calculate the relative frequency for landing on 4.

  1. 1Frequency of 4 = 9 out of 50 spins
  2. 2Relative frequency = 9/50

Answer9/50

Part (b) · 1 mark

Using 200 spins, work out the expected number of times the spinner lands on 4.

  1. 19/50 × 200 = 36
