Question

Rox and her sister are playing a game with a spinner. The spinner can land on the colors red, yellow, green, purple, or blue.

The table below shows the outcome of each spin after 15 spins.

Spinner Outcomes
red blue red
yellow green blue
yellow red yellow
blue blue green
blue purple red

What is the experimental probability of the spinner landing on red?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on red, we first need to count the number of times the spinner lands on red in the 15 spins.

From the outcomes listed, the spinner lands on red a total of 4 times.

Next, we divide the number of times the spinner landed on red by the total number of spins.

Experimental Probability of landing on red = Number of red outcomes / Total number of spins
Experimental Probability of landing on red = 4 / 15
Experimental Probability of landing on red = 4/15

Therefore, the experimental probability of the spinner landing on red is 4/15 or approximately 0.267 or 26.7%.
