Outcome: A:13 B:7 C:9 D:6 E:15

The numbers are the frequency.
A spinner with five equal regions labeled as A, B, C, D, E is spun. The table shows the results of several spins. What is the experimental probability of spinning a vowel? Express your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

1 answer

The total number of spins recorded is 13 + 7 + 9 + 6 + 15 = 50 spins.

Vowels in this case are A and E, which have frequencies of 13 and 15 respectively.

So the experimental probability of spinning a vowel is (13 + 15) / 50 = 28 / 50 = 14 / 25.

Therefore, the experimental probability of spinning a vowel is 14/25.
