Exercise 43 Page 847

Find the total number of spins.

F

Practice makes perfect

Let's analyze the given table.

Color Frequency
red 6
blue 4
orange 5
green 10

The table shows the results of several spins of a spinner. We are asked to find the experimental probability of the spinner landing on orange. Therefore we should divide the number of times that the spinner landed on orange, 5, by the total number of spins. Total Number of Spins: red+ blue+orange+ green = 6+ 4+5+ 10=25 Now, let's divide 5 by the total number of spins, 25. 5/25=1/5 Therefore, the experimental probability is 15. This corresponds to option F.
