Hank spins the spinner shown in the diagram 30 times. His results are as follows:

Yellow: 4
Blue: 7
Red: 5
Green: 6
Orange: 3
Purple: 5

B. 1/6

Experimental probability is calculated by dividing the number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials. In this case, green was landed on 6 times out of 30 trials, so the experimental probability of landing on green is 6/30, which simplifies to 1/5.
