This spinner is spun 36 times. The spinner landed on A 6 times, on B 21 times, and on C 9 times. Compute the empirical probability that the spinner will land on B.

Respuesta :

Answer: 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

number of times it landed on A = 6

number of times it landed on B = 21

number of times it landed on C = 9

Total number = 36

The empirical probability that the spinner will land on B is given by

P(B) = number of times it landed on B / Total number , that is

p(B) = 21/36

P(B) =7/12

Note: Empirical means verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory and it was verified that it landed on B 21 times.
