What is the experimental probability of spinning a 3 on the spinner?

1/14

⅓

1/15

¼

Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of spinning a 3 on the spinner, you can use the formula for experimental probability:

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

In this case, the number of times Luis spun a 3 is 15, and the total number of spins is 60.

So, the probability \( P(3) \) is:

\[ P(3) = \frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4} \]

Thus, the experimental probability of spinning a 3 on the spinner is \( \frac{1}{4} \).
