Question

A spinner with five equal-sized colored sections is spun with the results shown in the table. Based on the experimental probability, predict the number of yellow results for 300 trials.

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue
16 15 20 14 15

A.75
B.60
C.40
D.20

Answer 1

Answer: 75

Explanation:

Add the values given in the table

16+15+20+14+15 = 80

Yellow happens 20 times out of the 80 times total.

The experimental probability of yellow is 20/80 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%

If we do 300 trials, then we predict yellow to happen 0.25*300 = 75 times.
