a spinner has three sections. the table shows the results of spinning the arrow on the spinner 80 times. what is the experimental probability of the arrow stopping over section 3? section 1 18 section 2 30 section 3 32
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula
Experimental probability (P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}})
Step2: Identify favorable and total outcomes
The number of times the arrow stopped over Section 3 is 32 (favorable outcomes), and the total number of spins is 80 (total outcomes).
Step3: Calculate the probability
(P=\frac{32}{80}=\frac{2}{5})
Answer:
(\frac{2}{5})
