A spinner with five equal-sized colored sections is spun with the results shown in the table. Based on the experimental probability, predict the number of yellow results for 300 trials.

[Table]
Red - 16
Orange - 15
Yellow - 20
Green - 14
Blue - 15

Answer: 75

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the values given in the table

16+15+20+14+15 = 80

Yellow happens 20 times out of the 80 times total.

The experimental probability of yellow is 20/80 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%

If we do 300 trials, then we predict yellow to happen 0.25*300 = 75 times.
