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 yellow as a decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total spins

Total spins = \(17 + 20+14 + 11+11\)
\(=73\)

Step2: Calculate probability of yellow

Probability of yellow \(P=\frac{\text{Frequency of yellow}}{\text{Total spins}}\)
\(P=\frac{11}{73}\approx0.15\)

Answer:

\(0.15\)
