If it landed on green 9/30 times that is the ratio.
3/10= 9/30

Answer:

3 / 10

Explanation:

Total = 30 times

n ( T ) = 30

Green = 9

n ( G ) = 9

To find : Probability of Green [ P ( G ) ]

Formula : -

P ( G ) = n ( G ) / n ( T )

P ( G ) = 9 / 30

9 = 3 x 3

30 = 3 x 10

P ( G ) = ( 3 x 3 ) / ( 3 x 10 )

P ( G ) = 3 / 10

Hence,

the experimental probability that the next time the spinner is spun, it lands on green is 3 / 10.
