Question

A spinner with 5 equal sections labeled 1-5 is spun 50 times and the results are shown in the table what is the experimental probability of landing on 2 or 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

To calculate the experimental probability of landing on 2 or 3, you'll sum the number of times 2 or 3 occurred and divide it by the total number of spins.

Let's assume the results are as follows:

Number 1: 12 times

Number 2: 15 times

Number 3: 10 times

Number 4: 8 times

Number 5: 5 times

The total number of spins is 50.

Now, calculate the probability:

P(2 or 3) = 15+10/50 = 25/50

​ =0.5

So, the experimental probability of landing on 2 or 3 is 0.5 or 50%.
