Question

Colors Where the Spinner Stopped | Frequency
blue | 20
red | 15
green | 45
yellow | 10
black | 15
white | 45
Total | 150

A color wheel with six equal sections, blue, red, green, yellow, black, and white, was spun 150 times. The results are summarized in the table. What is the experimental probability of landing on white? Express your answer in percent form.
__%

Answer 1

what % is it

Answer 2

To calculate the experimental probability of landing on white, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of times the event occurs}}{\text{Total number of trials}}
\]

From the table, the number of times the spinner landed on white is 45, and the total number of spins is 150.

So, the probability is calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability of white} = \frac{45}{150}
\]

Now, simplify the fraction:

\[
\frac{45}{150} = \frac{3}{10}
\]

To express this probability in percent, multiply by 100:

\[
\frac{3}{10} \times 100 = 30
\]

Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on white is:

\[
\boxed{30\%}
\]
