Victoria spins the spinner shown in the diagram 60 times. Her results are as follows:
Blue: 14
Green: 12
Orange: 6
Purple: 10
Red: 10
Yellow: 8
What is the experimental probability of landing on green?
The experimental probability of landing on green can be calculated by dividing the number of times green was landed on by the total number of spins:
Experimental Probability of Green = Number of Green Spins / Total Spins
Experimental Probability of Green = 12 / 60
Experimental Probability of Green = 1/5
Experimental Probability of Green = 0.2
Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on green is 0.2 or 20%.
can you give the answer as a fraction
Yes, the experimental probability of landing on green can be expressed as a fraction:
Experimental Probability of Green = 12/60
Experimental Probability of Green = 1/5
Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on green is 1/5.
