Question

A spinner is divided into five colored sections that are not of equal size: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. The spinner is spun several times, and the results are recorded below:

Spinner Results

Color Frequency
Red 19
Blue 15
Green 9
Yellow 4
Purple 4

Based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on purple as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

0.08

Explanation:

The total number of spins recorded is:

19 + 15 + 9 + 4 + 4 = 51

The probability of landing on purple on the next spin is:

4/51 ≈ 0.08 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the probability that the next spin will land on purple as a decimal to the nearest hundredth is 0.08.
