Question

You have a spinner with red and blue regions. When you spin, it comes up blue 60 percent of the time. You do an experiment where you spin the spinner 180 times, and it comes up blue 114 times. (a) What proportion of spins came up blue in your sample

Answer 1

Answer: 0.633 approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the number of times blue came up (114) over the number of spins total (180). Ignore the 60% given to you. That's a theoretical value that doesn't play any part in determining an experimental probability.

114/180 = 0.633 approximately

The '3's go on forever. Round that however your teacher instructs.
