Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Kevin spins th
e spinner 180 times. Kevin determines about how many times the spinner will land on red or green, and his work is shown below.
What mistake did Kevin make, if any?
Kevin has the formula reversed; it should be the total number of sections over the number of red or green sections.
Kevin should have used a 4 in the numerator because there are 2 red sections and 2 green sections.
Kevin should multiply by the number of sections in the spinner rather than the total number of spins.
Kevin calculated the prediction correctly and did not make any mistakes.

<h2>Answer:</h2>
The mistake that kevin make is:
- Kevin should have used a 4 in the numerator because there are 2 red sections and 2 green sections.
It was given that there are 10 sections in the spinners 2 of each color.
Hence, in order to find the probability that the spinner lands on green or red is:
He need to find the total sections which are red or green,.
There are 4 sections which are red or green
( Since 2 are green and 2 are red)
and the probability that it will land on green or red is:
Hence, she should have taken 4 in the numerator to calculate the probability.

Hello!
The high school dropout rate, as a percentage of 16- through 24- year-olds who are not enrolled in school and have not earned a high school credential was is 2009 8.1%.
To thest the claim that this percentage has decreased, a polling company takes a random sample of 1000 people between the ages of 16 and 24 and finds out that 6.5% of them are highschool dropouts.
The study variable is
X: Number of individuals with age between 16 and 24 years old that are highschool dropouts.
The parameter of interest is the proportion fo highschool dropouts p
And the sample proportion is p'= 0.065
The hypotheses are:
H₀: p ≥ 0.081
H₁: p < 0.081
To study the population proportion, you have to approximate the distribution of the sampling proportion to normal applying the Central Limit Theorem, then the statistic to use is an approximate standard normal:
I hope this helps!
