Answer:  D. 0.086

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of black rings = 3

The total number of rings = [tex]6+15+11+3=35[/tex]

Now, Sarah puts a coin into the machine, then the theoretical probability she gets a black ring will be :-

[tex]\dfrac{3}{35}=0.08571428571\approx0.086[/tex]

Hence, the theoretical probability she gets a black ring = 0.086
