Q. A spinner is divided into five colored sections that are not of equal size: ed, blue, green, yellow, and purple. The spinner is spun several times, and the results are recorded below:\newline\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\newline\hline Spinner Results \\\newline\hline Color & Frequency \\\newline\hline Red & 22 \\\newline\hline Blue & 1010 \\\newline\hline Green & 33 \\\newline\hline Yellow & 44 \\\newline\hline Purple & 2020 \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}\newlineIf the spinner is spun 13001300 more times, about how many times would you expect to land on yellow? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
  1. Calculate total spins: Calculate the total number of spins recorded.\newlineTotal spins = Frequency(Red)+Frequency(Blue)+Frequency(Green)+Frequency(Yellow)+Frequency(Purple)\text{Frequency(Red)} + \text{Frequency(Blue)} + \text{Frequency(Green)} + \text{Frequency(Yellow)} + \text{Frequency(Purple)}\newlineTotal spins = 2+10+3+4+202 + 10 + 3 + 4 + 20\newlineTotal spins = 3939
  2. Calculate probability of yellow: Calculate the probability of landing on yellow. Probability(Yellow)=Frequency(Yellow)Total spins\text{Probability}(\text{Yellow}) = \frac{\text{Frequency}(\text{Yellow})}{\text{Total spins}} Probability(Yellow)=439\text{Probability}(\text{Yellow}) = \frac{4}{39}
  3. Estimate expected frequency: Use the probability to estimate the expected frequency of landing on yellow in 13001300 additional spins.\newlineExpected frequency(Yellow) = Probability(Yellow) ×\times Additional spins\newlineExpected frequency(Yellow) = (4/39)×1300(4 / 39) \times 1300\newlineExpected frequency(Yellow) 133.33\approx 133.33
  4. Round expected frequency: Round the expected frequency to the nearest whole number.\newlineExpected frequency(Yellow\text{Yellow}) rounded = 133133 (to the nearest whole number)
