Spinner Probability Bdefcb
1. **State the problem:** We have a spinner with three colored sections: blue, yellow, and pink. It was spun 100 times.
2. **Given data:**
- Frequency of yellow = 45
- Ratio of blue to yellow = 4 : 9
3. **Find:** The estimated probability of landing on pink as a decimal.
4. **Step 1: Find the frequency of blue.**
Since the ratio of blue to yellow is 4 : 9 and yellow frequency is 45, we set up the proportion:
$$\frac{\text{blue}}{\text{yellow}} = \frac{4}{9}$$
$$\Rightarrow \text{blue} = \frac{4}{9} \times 45 = 20$$
5. **Step 2: Find the frequency of pink.**
Total spins = 100
$$\text{pink} = 100 - (\text{blue} + \text{yellow}) = 100 - (20 + 45) = 35$$
6. **Step 3: Calculate the probability of pink.**
Probability is frequency divided by total spins:
$$P(\text{pink}) = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35$$
**Final answer:** The estimated probability of the spinner landing on pink is **0.35**.
