A biased 3-coloured spinner was spun 240 times. It landed on Red n times, on Orange 3n times and on Yellow 8n times. If you spin this spinner 1000 times, how many times do you expect it to land on Red?

83 spins

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red spins = n

Number of orange spins = 8n

Number of yellow spins = 3n

Total number of trials = 240

Total number of spins :

(n + 8n + 3n) = 240

12n = 240

n = 240 / 12

n = 20

Number of red spins = 20

(1000/240) * n

4.1666666 * 20

= 83.333

= 83 spins

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:
