Spinner Results
Color Frequency
Red 7
Blue 15
Green 6
Yellow 5
Purple 8
Based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on purple as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

The result of the several spins are as follows:

Color Frequency

Red 18

Blue 9

Green 18

Yellow 19

Purple 12

TOTAL 76

Compute the probability that the next spin will land on blue as follows:

Thus, the probability that the next spin will land on blue is 0.12.
