Question

a spinner has three unequal sections: red, yellow, and blue. the table shows the results of nolan’s spins (red:10, yellow:14, blue:6). find the experimental probability of landing on yellowanswer choices are 1/4 7/15 7/30 1/2

Answer 1

A spinner has three unequal sections.

Red = 10

Yellow = 14

Blue = 6

`Total\: sections=Red+Yellow+Blue=10+14+6=30`

We are asked to find the experimental probability of landing on yellow​.

Recall that the experimental probability is given by

`P=\frac{\text{number of desired outcomes}}{\text{total number of possible outcomes}}`

In this case, the number of desired outcomes are

Yellow = 14

The total number of possible outcomes is

Total sections = 30

`P=(14)/(30)=(7)/(15)`

Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on yellow is 7/15
