Multiple Choice

Which of the following events is more likely to happen using the spinner?

• P(yellow)

• P(blue)

• P(even number)

• P(8)

Multiple Choice

Which statement below best describes the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability.

• Theoretical probability is the same as experimental probability

• Experimental probability is found using math without conducting the event, but theoretical probability is found through a series of trials

• Theoretical probability is found by guessing the probability the event will happen, but experimental probability is found through two or three tries of the event.

• Theoretical probability is found using math without conducting the event, but experimental probability is found through a series of trails

Draw

There is a spinner with six colors that is part of an experiment. The frequency table below shows the results from each corresponding trail.
