Experimental probability is calculated by taking the number of times an event occurs (in this case, landing on green) and dividing it by the total number of trials or spins.
In this case, Victoria landed on green 12 times out of 60 spins. So the experimental probability of landing on green is 12/60, which simplifies to 1/5 or 1/6.
So, the experimental probability of landing on green is 1/6.
Victoria spins the spinner shown in the diagram 60 times. Her results are as follows:
Blue: 14
Green: 12
Orange: 6
Purple: 10
Red: 10
Yellow: 8
