Question

a spinner is divided into five colored sections that are not of equal size: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. the spinner is spun several times, and the results are recorded below: spinner results

color	frequency
blue	8
green	3
yellow	14
purple	15

based on these results, express the probability that the next spin will land on red or green or yellow as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total spins

Sum of all frequencies: $11 + 8+3 + 14+15=51$

Step2: Calculate favorable spins

Sum of frequencies of red, green and yellow: $11 + 3+14 = 28$

Step3: Calculate probability as a percentage

Probability $P=\frac{28}{51}\times100\approx 55\%$

Answer:

$55\%$
