Question

Ken is conducting an experiment in which he spins the arrow on a colored spinner 200 times. He records the experimental probabilities of landing in each colored section of the spinner. Find the frequency of landing on a given color.

a. Mode
b. Median
c. Mean
d. Range

Answer 1

To find the mode, organize the data into a chart and look for the color(s) with the highest frequency. The median is found by arranging the data in order and finding the middle value.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find the mode, we need to determine which color(s) appeared most frequently. We can do this by organizing the data into a chart with five intervals of equal width and labeling the two columns Enrollment and Frequency. Then, we can look for the color(s) with the highest frequency.

b. To find the median, we need to arrange the data in ascending order and find the middle value. If there is an even number of data points, we would take the average of the two middle values.

c. To find the mean, we need to add up all the frequencies and divide by the total number of spins.

d. To find the range, we would subtract the smallest frequency from the largest frequency.
