From the data of the table, we know that 40 out of those 200 spins landed on a 4.

Therefore, the experimental probability (the probability we can calculate from experimental data) is:


(40)/(200)\rightarrow(1)/(5)

In this case, the experimental probability is the same as the theoretical probability. But it isn't always the case!

Answer: A. 1/5
