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?

To find the probability of landing on a consonant on the spinner, we need to add up the frequencies of the consonants K, N, and D.

Total frequency of consonants = 120 + 105 + 135 = 360

Total frequency of spins = 500

Probability of landing on a consonant = Total frequency of consonants / Total frequency of spins = 360 / 500 ≈ 0.72

Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72 or 72%.
