10-45.
If
, how many times would you have to spin to reasonably expect to land in the shaded sector? How did you get your answer? What fraction of the circle is the shaded region? How can this help you?
What if
? How many times would you have to spin to reasonably expect to land in the shaded sector? Use the same method you used for part (a).
Suppose
for each spin. What must equal? Show how you got your answer. If this is the reverse of the method used for part (a), what must you do?
