Question

A spinner has the colors red, orange, yellow, andgreen on it. Maria spins it 10 times, and it lands ongreen 4 times. What is the experimentalprobability of spinning a green?ABC21

Answer 1

The probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur:

`P=\frac{expected}{total\text{ outcome}}`

And given:

Total number of spin = 10 times

Number of times it lands on green = 4

So, the probability of spinning a green is:

`P(spinning\text{ a green\rparen=}(4)/(10)=(2)/(5)`

Answer: A.
