The probability of landing on red is
The probability of landing on yellow is
The probability of landing on blue is

Answer 1

The probability of landing on red is 12/25

The probability of landing on yellow is 2/5

The probability of landing on blue is 3/25

Explanation:

To find the experimental probability, use the given frequency for the numerator and add all attempts to get the denominator.

12+10+3=25 attempts

Red:

Given frequency: 12

25 attempts

Experimental probability: 12/25

Yellow

Given frequency: 10

25 attempts

Experimental probability: 10/25 simplify to get 2/5

Blue

Given frequency: 3

25 attempts

Experimental probability: 3/25
