Question

The table shows the results of spinning a four colored spinner 50 times. Find the experimental probability and express it as a decimal. p(not blue)=?

Color Red Blue Green Yellow
# of times spun 20 10 9 11
(1 point)
A. 0.1
B. 0.4
C. 0.8
D. 0.2
I need help QUICK!!

Answer 1

blue is 10 and all the numbers added together is 50 so it would be 4/5 because 1/5 chance is blue so the rest isnt blue

Answer 2

Option: C is the correct answer.

P(not blue) is:

C. 0.8

Explanation:

The results of the experiments on spinning a colored spinner 50 times is:

Color Red Blue Green Yellow

# of times spun 20 10 9 11

This means that the total number of outcomes=50

and the number of outcomes which are not blue is the outcome such that spin is red, green and yellow.

i.e. Number of outcomes which are not blue=20+9+11

= 40

Hence, the P(not blue) is the ratio of the number of outcomes which are not blue to the total number of outcomes.

i.e. P(not blue)=40/50=4/5=0.8

Hence, option: C is the answer.

C. 0.8
