Question

A spinner has five sections, labeled A, B, C, D, and E. The spinner is spun 84 times, and the results are recorded in the table.

What is the experimental probability of the spinner’s landing on A? Round to the nearest percent, if necessary.

Outcome A B C D E
Number of trials 14 20 18 15 17

A.22%

B.20%

C.17%

D.14%.

Answer 1

C.17 percent

Explanation:

Answer 2

The experimental probability is C. 17%.

17% is derived from the following solution.

14/84 = 0.1666
0.1666 * 100% = 16.66% or 17%

This is based on the result of the experiment conducted.

The theoretical probability of A is 20%.

1/5 = 0.20
0.20 x 100% = 20%

A is only one event out of 5 letters.
