Question

A spinner numbered from 1 to 5 is spun 10 times. The number 5 appeared four times. What is the probability of getting 5? A) 7/10 B) 6/10 C) 5/10 D) 4/10

Answer 1

The experimental probability of an event occurring is the number of times that it occurred when the experiment was conducted as a fraction of the total number of times the experiment was conducted.

Since we repeated the spinning 10 times, and we got 5 four times, this means that our probability is the ratio between 4 and 10.

`(4)/(10)`
