Use the table to answer the question. Outcomes K I N D Frequency 120 140 105 135 A spinner is divided into 4 sections labeled as K, I, N, D. Xavier reproduced the wheel and uses a computer to simulate the outcomes of 500 spins. What is the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin? (1 point) Responses 0.24 0.24 0.72 0.72 0.28 0.28 0.45
To find the probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin, we need to add up the frequencies of the outcomes corresponding to consonants (K, N, D).
Total frequency of consonants = 120 + 105 + 135 = 360
Total frequency of all outcomes = 500
Probability of landing on a consonant = Total frequency of consonants / Total frequency of all outcomes = 360 / 500 ≈ 0.72
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72.
