A spinner with eight equal sections numbered 1 through 8 is spun 50 times. The number 3 is recorded 8 times.  Determine the experimental probability of spinning a 3 on your next spin.

Solution

The experimental probability is determined by the number of times an event occurs divided by the total number of trials.

In this case, the event is spinning a 3, which occurred 8 times. The total number of trials is the number of times the spinner was spun, which is 50 times.

So, the experimental probability of spinning a 3 is 8 (number of times 3 was spun) divided by 50 (total number of spins).

Therefore, the experimental probability of spinning a 3 on your next spin is 8/50 or 0.16.
