Question

a spinner has the colors red, orange, yellow, and green. the spinner is spun 15 times, and it lands on red 4 times. what is the experimental probability of spinning a red? $\frac{1}{10}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{4}{15}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula

Experimental probability \(P(E)=\frac{\text{Number of times event occurs}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\)

Step2: Identify values

The number of times the event (landing on red) occurs is 4, and the total number of trials (spins) is 15.

Step3: Calculate probability

\(P(\text{red})=\frac{4}{15}\)

Answer:

C. \(\frac{4}{15}\)
