Answer 1

7/20

1) Since Probability is a quotient between the favorable outcomes and the total of trials, we can write out the following:

2) Total of trials:

21+15+24 =60

Probability of spinning green:

`P(\text{green) =}(21)/(60)=(7)/(20)=0.35`

Note that there was a simplification.

3) Hence, the experimental probability of this experiment displayed on the chart is 7/20 or 0.35
