Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of spinning GREEN, we first need to count the total number of spins and the number of times GREEN was spun.

From the results you provided:
- Total spins = 15
- Number of GREEN spins = 4 (the occurrences of 'Green' in the results are 4)

The experimental probability (P) of spinning GREEN is calculated as:

\[
P(\text{Green}) = \frac{\text{Number of Green spins}}{\text{Total spins}} = \frac{4}{15}
\]

So, the correct response is:

**4 over 15**
