A spinner is divided into equal parts 1 – 5. George spun the spinner 30 times. A table of outcomes is shown. Based on the table, what is an experimental probability of the spinner landing on an even number?
To find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on an even number, we need to determine how many times it landed on an even number and divide that by the total number of spins.
Looking at the table of outcomes, we need to count the number of times the spinner landed on an even number. In this case, the even numbers are 2 and 4.
From the table, we can see that the spinner landed on an even number a total of 10 times.
Since George spun the spinner 30 times, the total number of spins is 30.
Now, we can calculate the experimental probability of the spinner landing on an even number by dividing the number of times it landed on an even number (10) by the total number of spins (30).
Experimental Probability = Number of times landing on an even number / Total number of spins
Experimental Probability = 10 / 30
Experimental Probability = 1/3
Therefore, the experimental probability of the spinner landing on an even number is 1/3.
