Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of spinning RED, you need to calculate the number of times RED appears and divide it by the total number of spins.

From the results you provided:

- Total spins: 12
- Number of times RED appears: 2

Now, calculate the experimental probability of spinning RED:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability of RED} = \frac{\text{Number of times RED appears}}{\text{Total spins}} = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}
\]

So the experimental probability of spinning RED is \( \frac{1}{6} \).

The correct response is **1/6**.
