Pls help ASAP I am in test;))))A spinner with five equal-sized colored sections is spun with the results shown in the table. RED=15 Orange=16 Yellow=14 Green=19 Blue=16 Based on the experimental probability, predict the number of blue results in 200trails.

Answears:20

16

32

40

Final answer:

Based on the experimental probability from previous spins, you would predict that the number of blue results in 200 trials would be 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating an experimental probability based on a spinner's past results. We're given the following data from previous spins: RED=15, Orange=16, Yellow=14, Green=19, Blue=16.

To predict the number of times blue will appear in 200 trials, we need to calculate the experimental probability of spinning blue, which is the number of blue spins divided by the total number of spins. The total number of spins is the sum of all the colored spins: 15 (RED) + 16 (Orange) + 14 (Yellow) + 19 (Green) + 16 (Blue) = 80 spins.

The experimental probability of blue, P(Blue), is therefore 16/80, which simplifies to 1/5. To predict the number of blue results in 200 spins, we multiply the experimental probability by the number of trials: 1/5 * 200 = 40.

Therefore, based on the experimental probability, we can predict 40 blue results in 200 trials.
