Question

#3: A spinner has three sections: pink, purple, and orange. The table below shows the results of Cassidy's spins. Find the experimental probability of landing on purple. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. * Color Frequency Pink 29 Purple 35 Orange 36

Answer 1

Experimental probability: EP

Number of times the event occurs: O

Number of times the experiment is repeated: R

To find the experimental probability of landing in purple you use the next formula:

`EP=(O)/(R)`

In this case O is 35 (frequency of purple)

R is 100 (total of spins)

`EP=(35)/(100)=0.35`

The experimental probability of lading purple is 0.35 or 35% (7/20)
