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 based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on purple as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total spins

Total spins = \(19 + 15+9 + 4+4\)

$$=51$$

Step2: Calculate probability of purple

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Frequency of purple}}{\text{Total spins}}\)

$$=\frac{4}{51}$$

$$≈0.08$$

Answer:

\(0.08\)
