Rox and her sister are playing a game with a spinner. The spinner can land on the colors red, yellow, green, purple, or blue.
The table below shows the outcome of each spin after 15 spins.
Spinner Outcomes
red blue red
yellow green blue
yellow red yellow
blue blue green
blue purple red
What is the experimental probability of the spinner landing on green?
To find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on green, we need to count the number of times the spinner landed on green in the 15 spins and then divide by the total number of spins.
From the outcomes given, the spinner landed on green once.
Experimental probability = Number of times green was spun / Total number of spins
Experimental probability = 1/15
Experimental probability = 0.067 or 6.7%
