Given the experimental results of spinning the spinner:
Yellow: 212
Red: 144
Blue: 144
The sum of times = 500
a) from Martina's results, compute the experimental probability of landing on red.
So, the answer will be probability = 144/500 = 0.288
b) assuming that the spinner is fair, compute the theoretical probability of landing on red.
As shown: the spinner has 10 equally sized slices.
The number of red slices = 3
So, the probability of red = 3/10 = 0.3
c) assuming that the spinner is fair, choose the statement below that is true.
The true statement will be:
1. the larger the number of spins, the greater the likelihood that the experimental probability will be close to the theoretical probability.
