Help me solve an impossible question.

You spin a spinner 48 times. Out of the 48 trials, the pointer lands 6 time on section 2. What is the experimental probability of the pointer landing on section 2?

A question on one of my quizzes.

By trials, do you mean times? And by "section" you mean "time?"

I'm going to be honest with you. This is an impossible question.

Trials are the number of times spun, and section 2 is just one section on the spinner. You cannot answer this because it does not tell you how many section there are.

Yep, after you said "section on the spinner" I could tell you can't solve this.

Experimental probability is the probability based on the amount of times it happened during a trial. So it is 6/48 = 1/8. Are you in like 5th grade?
