Question

During 20 spins, a spinner landed on blue 10 times. If you spin the spinner once, what is the experimental probability that it will land on blue?

Answer 1

Someone has answered your other similar questions. What did you learn from them?

Answer 2

I don't know for each question whether we should for example: simplify 10/20 or add 20+30 = 50 and so simplify 10/50......

Answer 3

How were the other problems solved?

Answer 4

it's different for each problem apparently for some you add the total example: 20+10 = 30 put 10/30 and simplify it and on some you just for example for this problem simplify 10/20.. The thing is I don't know which rule to do when I get a question like the ones I asked

Answer 5

20 spins
10 land on blue

Which method will give you a reasonable fraction?

Answer 6

well 10/30 simplified would be 1/3
and 10/20 would be 1/2
I don't know what you mean by a reasonable fraction like how do you know if it's a reasonable fraction?

Answer 7

Both of those are reasonable answers.

10 out of 20 times = 1/2

Answer 8

how am I supposed to know whether 1/2 or 1/3 is the answer?

Answer 9

It certainly can't be both.

Answer 10

I told you the answer.

Answer 11

yes but if it's both reasonable answers.. how would you know if it's 1/2 or 1/3? why isn't it 1/3?

Answer 12

It's not 1/3 because the spinner was only used 20 times.
