The frequency is the ratio of the number of times the spinner landed on a pink sector to the total number of spins.
Frequency = (Number of pink sector spins) / (Total number of spins) = 6 / 20 = 0.3
Therefore, the frequency at which the spinner landed on a pink sector is 0.3 or 30%.
Are the values for part (1) and part (3) the same?
Why or why not? (use complete sentences)
The values for part (1) and part (3) are not the same. In part (1) we calculated the probability of the spinner landing on a pink sector, which is a theoretical concept based on the total possible outcomes. In part (3) we calculated the frequency, which is the actual occurrence of the spinner landing on a pink sector in a series of trials. The frequency is based on empirical data and can vary from the theoretical probability due to chance and random fluctuations.
