Chapter 12.5, Problem 43STP

To determine

To determine the experimental probability of orange section.

Answer to Problem 43STP

( $G$ ) $\frac{1}{5}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

A spinner with sections colored red, blue, green, and orange.

  

Concept used:

Experimental probability: number times an event occurs divided by total number of trials.

Calculation:

In the experiment,

Number times orange section occurs $=5$

Total number of trials $=25$

Experimental probability of orange section $=\frac{5}{25}=\frac{1}{5}$

So, experimental probability of orange section is $\frac{1}{5}$ .

Conclusion:

Therefore, Option ( $G$ ) $\frac{1}{5}$ is correct.
