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 16
Blue 19
Green 16
Yellow 7
Purple 19
If the spinner is spun 1900 more times, about how many times would you expect to land on purple? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

From the given data, we can see that the spinner was spun a total of 16 + 19 + 16 + 7 + 19 = 77 times. Out of these 77 spins, it landed on purple 19 times. So, the experimental probability of landing on purple is 19/77.

If the spinner is spun 1900 more times, we would expect it to land on purple about (19/77) * 1900 = 466.23 times. Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 466.

So, if the spinner is spun 1900 more times, we would expect it to land on purple about 466 times.
