Question

A wheel with nine different colors on it is spun numerous times, and the results arerecorded below:color black blue green purple pink yellow brown whiteresult703776934122817What is the experimental probability of landing on a color other than green?0 0.3390 0.7420 0.2580 0.836

Answer 1

The formula for getting the experimental probability:

`\text{Probability of an Even P(E) = }\frac{\text{ Number of times an event occurs}}{\text{ Total number of trials}}`

Number of times an event occurs = Landing on a color other than green

= 70 + 37 + 9 + 34 + 12 + 28 + 17 + 12

= 219

Total number of trials = 70 + 37 + 76 + 9 + 34 + 12 + 28 + 17 + 12

= 295

We get,

`\text{Probability of an Even P(E) = }\frac{\text{ Number of times an event occurs}}{\text{ Total number of trials}}`
`\text{ = }(219)/(295)`
`\text{ P(E) = }0.7423728813559322\text{ }\approx\text{ 0.742}`

Therefore, the answer is P(E) = 0.742
