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.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of landing on white, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Probability of white} = \frac{\text{Frequency of white}}{\text{Total frequency}}
\]

From the table, the frequency of white is 45 and the total frequency is 150.

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

Now we calculate this fraction:

\[
\frac{45}{150} = 0.3
\]

To express this probability in percent form, we multiply by 100:

\[
0.3 \times 100 = 30\%
\]

Thus, the experimental probability of landing on white is:

\[
\boxed{30\%}
\]
