What is the theoretical probability of the spinner landing on red?
The theoretical probability of the spinner landing on red is 2 out of 8, or simplifying to lowest terms, 1/4. This is because there are 2 red spaces out of a total of 8 spaces on the spinner, so the probability of landing on red is 2/8.
To find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on red, we need to calculate the number of times the spinner landed on red divided by the total number of spins.
According to the table, the spinner landed on red 6 times.
The total number of spins is the sum of the spins for each color, which is 6 + 5 + 3 + 4 = 18.
Therefore, the experimental probability of the spinner landing on red is 6/18, which simplifies to 1/3 or approximately 0.3333.
