Probability of Chance Events Quick Check 1 of 51 of 5 Items Question 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 0.45 0.45 0.28
To find the probability of the spinner stopping on a consonant, we need to add up the frequencies of the consonants (K, N, D) and divide by the total number of outcomes.
Total frequency of consonants = 120 + 105 + 135 = 360
Total number of outcomes = 500
Probability = Total frequency of consonants / Total number of outcomes
Probability = 360 / 500
Probability = 0.72
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72.
Correct response: 0.72
