Answer:
a) 9/20 or 45%
b) 2/5 or 40%
c) Answer choice 1
Step-by-step explanation:
a) During Linda's experimentation, she spinned the spinner a total of 18+14+8=40 times. Out of those, 18 landed on grey. Based on her results, the experimental probability is 18/40=9/20 or 45%.
b) Assuming the spinner is fair, since there are 5 total possible colors to land on and 2 of them are gray, the probability is 2/5 or 40%.
c) As time goes on and the spinner is spinned more and more often, it will continue to approach the theoretical probability, because that is the likelyhood every time that the arrow lands on grey. Hope this helps!
