A carnival game had a spinning wheel with 20 equal-size sections: some red, some black, and some green. Every time the wheel was spun, the game attendant recorded the color selected. The table shows the results after 20, 200, and 2000 spins.

What is the best estimate of the number of green sections on the wheel?

Outcome Number of trials
20 200 2000
red 12 109 1028
black 8 84 879
green 0 7 95

welshfella · Answer

the best estimate would be from the largest number of trials

welshfella · Answer

you get 95 greens from 2000 trials

welshfella · Answer

so experimental probability = 95 / 2000

now apply that to the 20 equal sections

so B?
