\text{Probability(Event)}=\frac{Frequency\text{ of event}}{Total\text{ frequency}}
\begin{gathered} \text{Frequency of Red=11} \\ \text{Total Frequency = 11+13+20+16+20=80} \\ \text{Probability(next pin is Red)=}(11)/(80)=0.14 \end{gathered}

The probability that the next spin will land on Red is 0.14
