Answer: The spinner lands on green 5​ less times than expected.

Explanation:

Assuming the spinner has 4 colors, the chance of it landing on green will be 25%.

If there are 60 spins, the expected number of times it should land on green is;

= 60 * 25%

= 15 times

It only landed on green 10 times which is 5 less times than expected.
