Question

Question 5The graph shows the results of an experiment in which a spinner with four equal sections is spun. What was the relative frequency of spinninga number greater than 1 for this experiment?

Answer 1

The Solution.

The total frequency for the experiment is

$\text{Total frequency =8+6+11+7=32}$

Relative Frequency means the ratio of the frequency of a particular event in a statistical experiment to the total frequency.

So, for numbers greater than 1, we have the following frequencies:

$6+11+7=24$

So, the relative frequency of spinning numbers greater than 1 is

$\frac{24}{32}=\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, the correct answer is 3/4 or 0.75
