Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula

Experimental probability (P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}})

Step2: Identify values for the formula

The total number of trials is (n = 50). Let the number of times the spinner lands on red be (x). After performing the 50 - trial experiment, you would count the number of times it lands on red. Suppose after the 50 trials, the number of times it lands on red is (x). Then the experimental probability (P=\frac{x}{50}). Since no data from the actual 50 - trial experiment is given yet, if we assume for the sake of example that after 50 trials, the spinner lands on red 10 times, then (P=\frac{10}{50}=\frac{1}{5})

Answer:

It depends on the number of times the spinner lands on red in 50 trials. If the number of times it lands on red is (x), the experimental probability is (\frac{x}{50})
