Full solution

Q. if you spin it 256256 how many times would you expect to spin AA or BB
  1. Calculate Probabilities: First, we need to know the probability of spinning AA or BB. Assuming each letter has an equal chance of being spun and there are no other details provided, let's say there are 44 possible outcomes: AA, BB, CC, and DD.
  2. Sum Probabilities: So the probability of spinning AA or BB is the sum of the probabilities of spinning AA and spinning BB. Since there are 44 outcomes, the probability of spinning AA is 14\frac{1}{4} and the same for BB.
  3. Multiply by Total Spins: Adding the probabilities of AA and BB gives us 14+14=12\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}.
  4. Multiply by Total Spins: Adding the probabilities of AA and BB gives us 14+14=12\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}.Now, we multiply the probability of spinning AA or BB by the total number of spins, which is 256256. So, 12×256=128\frac{1}{2} \times 256 = 128.
