Question

A four-colored spinner was spun 75 times. The spinner landed on green 5 times, yellow 10 times, blue 15 times, and red 45 times. Based on this data, what is the experimental probability of the spinner landing on green?

1/5

2/5

1/15

3/5

can you please explain how you got you answer

Answer 1

The probability of the spinner landing on green is 1/15

Explanation:

The total number of time the spinner was spun = 75

No. Of spins landed on green= 5

No. Of spins landed on yellow = 10

No. Of spins landed on blue = 15

No. Of spins landed on red = 45

Probability of the spinner landing on green= no. of spins landed on green / total number of spins

P = 5/75

P = 1/15

The probability of the spinner landing on green is 1/15
