Question

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


Three column table. First column values are /Section 1 and 28/. Second column values are /Section 2 and 36/. Third column values are /Section 3 and 16/.


What is the experimental probability of the arrow stopping over Section 1?

Answer 2

The spinner stopped 28 times on section 1 out of the 80 spins.
The experimental probability of the arrow stopping over Section is given by:
\[\large \frac{Number\ of\ stops\ on\ Section\ 1}{Total\ number\ of\ spins}\]
You will need to simplify the resulting fraction.
