Question

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?

Answer 1

can you give the answer as a fraction

Answer 2

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%.

Answer 3

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.
