Answer 1

Answer:

0.11

Explanation:

First, find the total of the color frequency:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total}=7+18+5+6+9 \\ =45 \end{gathered}$

The Frequency with which it lands on Green = 5

Therefore, the probability that the next spin will land on the green:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{5}{45} \\ \approx0.11 \end{gathered}$

The required probability is 0.11 (to the nearest hundredth).
