The experimental probability of the arrow landing on a black section of the spinner can be calculated by dividing the number of spins that resulted in black by the total number of spins:
Probability of landing on black = Number of Black Spins / Total number of spins = 19/76 = 0.25
The experimental probability of the arrow landing on a white section of the spinner can be calculated by dividing the number of spins that resulted in white by the total number of spins:
Probability of landing on white = Number of White Spins / Total number of spins = 57/76 = 0.75
Therefore, the spinner is 3 times more likely to land on white than on black. The correct answer is: The spinner is 3 times more likely to land on white.
A spinner has six sections of equal shape and size. Each section is either black or white. The table shows the result of an experiment when the spinner was spun 76 times:
Result of Spin Black White
Number of Spins 19 57
Based on the data, which of the following best describes the experimental probability of the arrow landing on a black or white section of the spinner? (5 points)
The spinner is 3 times more likely to land on white.
The spinner is 3 times more likely to land on black.
The information cannot be concluded from the data.
The spinner is equally likely to land on black or white.
