I tossed a dice 20 times and got the following

results.

I spun a spinner and found the following

results. What is the experimental probability

of my next spin landing on red?

The probability of my spinner landing on blue

is  1/5.  If I spin the spinner 200 times, how

many times would I guess it would land on blue?

 4/5  ×  200  =  160
  200
 1/5  ×  200  = 40
