The experimental probability of an event can be found through:


p(x)=\frac{specific\text{ }cases\text{ }}{possible\text{ }cases}

in this case, the possible cases are the number of spins that are made until the moment which is 30.

the specific cases refer to the probability we want to find, which in this case refers to landing in yellow next time, for that matter we know that until the spinner has landed in yellow 8 times.

then,


p(x)=(8)/(30)

simplify the fraction


p(x)=(4)/(15)

Answer:

The experimental probability that the next time the spinner will land on yellow is 4/15.
