the experimental probability of the spinner’s landing on A is:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

A spinner has five sections, labeled A, B, C, D, and E. The spinner is spun 84 times, and the results are recorded in the table.

OutcomeNumber of times outcome occurred

A14

B20

C18

D15

E17

We are asked to find  the experimental probability of the spinner’s landing on A

P(landing A)=no. of times outcome A has occurred/total number of outcomes

                  = 14/84

                  = 1/6

                  = 100/6%

                 = 16.66%

                 ≈ 17%

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
