Question

A spinner is divided into five colored sections that are not of equal size: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. The spinner is spun several times, and the results are recorded below: Based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on blue as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that the next spin will land on blue is 0.12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of the several spins are as follows:

Color           Frequency

Red                  18

Blue                   9

Green               18

Yellow              19

Purple               12

TOTAL             76

Compute the probability that the next spin will land on blue as follows:

$P(Blue)=\frac{n(Blue)}{N}\\\\=\frac{9}{76}\\\\=0.1184211\\\\\approx 0.12$

Thus, the probability that the next spin will land on blue is 0.12.
