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
blue	11
green	18
yellow	5
purple	7

based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on purple as a fraction in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of spins

Total spins = 5 + 11+18 + 5+7=46

Step2: Determine probability of landing on purple

Probability of purple = $\frac{\text{Frequency of purple}}{\text{Total number of spins}}=\frac{7}{46}$

Answer:

$\frac{7}{46}$
