Use the table to answer the question.

Outcomes K I N D
Frequency 120 140 105 135
A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K , I , N , D . Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin?

Answer 1

To find the probability of landing on a consonant on the next spin, we first need to find the total frequency of consonants, which are K, N, and D.

Total frequency of consonants: 140 + 105 + 135 = 380

Total frequency of all outcomes: 120 + 140 + 105 + 135 = 500

Probability of landing on a consonant: frequency of consonants / total frequency = 380 / 500 = 0.76

Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.76.
