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
red	4
blue	3
green	20
yellow	14
purple	16

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

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of spins

$4 + 3+20 + 14+16=57$

Step2: Calculate probability of landing on red

The probability $P$ of landing on red is the number of red - spins divided by the total number of spins. So $P=\frac{4}{57}$.

Step3: Convert probability to percentage

$P=\frac{4}{57}\times100\%\approx 7\%$

Answer:

$7\%$
