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 16 blue 18 green 9 yellow 3 purple 19 based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on green as a fraction in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of spins

Total frequency = \(16 + 18+9 + 3+19\)

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step2: Calculate probability of landing on green

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Frequency of green}}{\text{Total frequency}}\)
Since frequency of green is \(9\) and total frequency is \(65\), \(P = \frac{9}{65}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{9}{65}\)
