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?

First, we need to calculate the total number of spins on consonants (K, N, D):
Total spins on consonants = 140 (K) + 105 (N) + 135 (D) = 380
Then, we calculate the probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin:
Probability = Total spins on consonants / Total number of spins
Probability = 380 / 500
Probability = 0.76
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.76, which is closest to 0.72.
