Duke has a spinner that is divided into six equal-sized sections. Each section is a different color. He spun the spinner multipl
e times, and his results are shown below. Based on the data, what is the experimental probability that the next time Duke spins the spinner, it will land on red? on the data, what is the experimental probability that the next time Duke spins the spinner, it will land on red? A. 2/30 B. 11/40 C. 1/6 D. 1/8
The experimental probability is the probability that is obtained by dividing the number of times the required outcome has occurred by the total number of trials.
In the experiment given the color red is one of the six possible outcomes and the next time the experiment is performed the number of trials would be 1
so the experimental probability would be 1/6
If the previous number of trials were given then the probability would have been different.
We can simplify |x| - 3 = 15 to |x| = 15 because we can add 3 on both sides due to -3 being outside of the absolute value bars. Next, we can say that x is either 15 or -15 because of the absolute value (|15| is equal to 15 and |-15| is also equal to 15).
