A spinner has five sections, labeled A, B, C, D, and E. The spinner is spun 84 times, and the results are recorded in the table.
What is the experimental probability of the spinner’s landing on A?
Round to the nearest percent, if necessary.
14%
17%
20%
22%
First of all, there's no table.
Second of all, because there's no table, we don't know how many times A was landed on. But you would take that number and divide it by the total number of trials (84). That would be your experimental probability.
To find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on A, we need to determine the number of times it landed on A and divide it by the total number of spins.
According to the table, A appeared 18 times.
The total number of spins is given as 84.
So, the experimental probability of the spinner landing on A is calculated as:
(18 / 84) * 100 = 21.4%
Rounding to the nearest percent, the experimental probability of the spinner landing on A is approximately 21 percent.
Therefore, the closest option is 22%.
To find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on section A, you need to divide the number of times the spinner landed on A by the total number of spins and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
According to the given table, the spinner was spun 84 times. Look at the data in the table and determine how many times the spinner landed on section A.
Once you have the count of how many times it landed on A, divide that count by the total number of spins (84) and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
For example, if the spinner landed on A 18 times, you would calculate the experimental probability as:
(18 / 84) * 100 = 0.2143 * 100 ≈ 21.43%
So, in this example, the experimental probability of the spinner's landing on A would be approximately 21.43%.
Compare the result with the given options (14%, 17%, 20%, 22%) and select the closest one.
Note: Since the actual data from the table is not provided, you need to refer to the given table to determine the number of times the spinner landed on A in order to find the experimental probability accurately.
Please try and show your work, if not, that's alright.
but I need the answer as soon as u can.
