Question

A spinner has three sections. The table shows the results of spinning the arrow on the spinner 80 times.


Three column table. First column values are Section 1 and 20. Second column values are Section 2 and 36. Third column values are Section 3 and 24.


What is the experimental probability of the arrow stopping over Section 2?


a. 1/36 , b. 1/18 , c. 9/20 , d. 9/11

Answer 1

The experimental probability is

  (number of times it stopped over Sect. 2) / (total number of times you tried it)

Number of times it stopped in Section-2: 36

Total number of times you tried it:  (20 + 36 + 24)  =  80

Experimental probability of Section-2  =  36/80 = 9/20  =  45%

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 9/20 i just took the test hope this helps.
