The spinner is equally likely to land on black or white.
The spinner is 4 times more likely to land on white.

The information cannot be concluded from the data table.

Answer 1

Answer:

The spinner is 4 times more likely to land on black.

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 72 black spins compared to 18 white spins.  This means there were 4 times more black spins than white spins; this means the spinner is not equally likely to land on either color.
