Based on the data, what is the experimental probability of landing on yellow?

You may give your answer as a simplified fraction, decimal, or percent.

Answer 1

0.1

Explanation:

Given: The spinner lands on red 6 times, yellow 2 times, green 8 times, and blue 4 times. when it is spun 20 times.

To find: experimental probability of landing on yellow

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurring of some event.

Probability = number of favourable outcomes total number of outcomes

As the spinner lands on yellow 2 times,

number of favourable outcomes = 2

Total number of outcomes = 20

Probability = 2/20 = 1/10 =0.1
