Question

1. this spinner is spun 36 times. the spinner landed on a 1 time, on b 29 times, and on c 6 times. compute the empirical probability that the spinner will land on b.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for empirical probability

Empirical probability \(P(E)=\frac{\text{Number of times event }E\text{ occurs}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)

Step2: Identify the values

The number of times the spinner landed on \(B\) (event \(E\)) is \(n = 29\), and the total number of trials \(N=36\)

Step3: Calculate the empirical probability

Substitute the values into the formula: \(P(B)=\frac{29}{36}\approx0.806\)

Answer:

\(\frac{29}{36}\)
