Question

a spinner has three unequal sections: red, yellow, and blue. the table shows the results of nolan’s spins (red:10, yellow:14, blue:6). find the experimental probability of landing on yellowanswer choices are 1/4 7/15 7/30 1/2

Answer 1

A spinner has three unequal sections.

Red = 10

Yellow = 14

Blue = 6

$Total\: sections=Red+Yellow+Blue=10+14+6=30$

We are asked to find the experimental probability of landing on yellow​.

Recall that the experimental probability is given by

$P=\frac{\text{number of desired outcomes}}{\text{total number of possible outcomes}}$

In this case, the number of desired outcomes are

Yellow = 14

The total number of possible outcomes is

Total sections = 30

$P=\frac{14}{30}=\frac{7}{15}$

Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on yellow is 7/15
