3 A Spinner Has Three Sections Pink Purple And Orange The Table Below Shows The Results Of Cassidys Spins Find The Experimental Probability Of Landing On Purple class=

Answer :

Experimental probability: EP

Number of times the event occurs: O

Number of times the experiment is repeated: R

To find the experimental probability of landing in purple you use the next formula:

[tex]EP=\frac{O}{R}[/tex]

In this case O is 35 (frequency of purple)

R is 100 (total of spins)

[tex]EP=\frac{35}{100}=0.35[/tex]

The experimental probability of lading purple is 0.35 or 35% (7/20)
