Answer the following. Round your answers to the nearest thousandths.
(a) From Maria's results, compute the experimental probability of landing on red or blue.

(b) Assuming that the spinner is fair, compute the theoretical probability of landing on red or blue.
0
(c) Assuming that the spinner is fair, choose the statement below that is true.
As the number of spins increases, we expect the experimental and theoretical probabilities to
become closer, though they might not be equal.
The experimental and theoretical probabilities must always be equal.
As the number of spins increases, we expect the experimental and theoretical probabilities to
become farther apart..
