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 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.

Answer 1

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.
