Question

marcus performed an experiment by spinning a spinner a set number of times and noting the color on which the spinner landed. the table below shows the results.

result	blue	red	green	yellow

what is the experimental probability for the lowest frequency?

options:

• \\(\frac{3}{18}\\)
• \\(\frac{4}{18}\\)
• \\(\frac{18}{4}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify lowest frequency

From the table, frequencies are 4 (Blue), 3 (Red), 5 (Green), 6 (Yellow). Lowest frequency is 3 (Red).

Step2: Calculate total trials

Sum frequencies: $4 + 3 + 5 + 6 = 18$.

Step3: Find experimental probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Lowest Frequency}}{\text{Total Trials}} = \frac{3}{18}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{18}$
