Need help please!

There is a wheel of prizes at the county fair that costs 1 dollar to spin. Use this wheel of prizes to complete the questions.



wheel

  1. Each black section takes up 1/4 of the wheel. If you land on that, you walk away with nothing.
  2. The blue section takes up 1/8 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get a small prize (a piece of candy or bookmark).
  3. The purple section takes up 1/8 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get a medium prize (a bracelet or a squirt gun).
  4. The green section takes up 1/12 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get to spin again.
  5. The red section takes up 1/12 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get a large prize (a stuffed animal or t-shirt).
  6. The yellow section takes up 1/30 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get $5.
  7. The orange section takes up 1/30 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get $10.
  8. The white section takes up 1/60 of the wheel. If you land on that, you get the $50 jackpot.

3. What is the probability that a player will land on "small prize" or "medium prize" with one spin? (What of the wheel is small and medium % not including large?)

4. What is the probability that a player will win money with one spin? (What percentage has a prize worth the money?)

5. Joey decides to spin the wheel 60 times. What is the expected outcome of spins? (How many times should it land on each space?)
