To find the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin, we need to add the frequencies of K, N, and D, as those are the consonants on the spinner.
Frequency of K = 120
Frequency of N = 140
Frequency of D = 105
Total frequency of consonants = 120 + 140 + 105 = 365
Total number of sections on the spinner = 4
Probability of landing on a consonant = Frequency of consonants / Total number of sections
Probability = 365 / 500
Probability = 0.73
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.73. The closest option provided is 0.72.
