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:

Spinner Results
Color Frequency
Red 20
Blue 9
Green 11
Yellow 7
Purple 16
Based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on red or green or purple as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

0.75

Explanation:

The total spins was 63. The total amount of spins for red, green or purple is 47.

Dividing, we get 47/63 ≈ 0.75.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: 0.75

Explanation:

The total frequency of all the colors is 20+9+11+7+16=63.

The probability of landing on red or green or purple is the sum of the frequencies of these three colors divided by the total frequency:

P(red or green or purple) = (20+11+16)/63

P(red or green or purple) ≈ 0.75(rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the probability of the next spin landing on red or green or purple is approximately 0.75.
