Jeffery used a spinner to conduct an experiment. The results of his first thirty spins are shown below:

Red 9, Green 8, Yellow 6, and Blue 7.

If Jeffery continues to spin the spinner an additional 500 times, what will happen to the probability of spinning yellow?

• a) The experimental probability will move further away from the theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.

• b) The experimental probability will remain the same as the number of trials increases.

• c) The experimental probability will come closer to the theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.

30% of the starburst candy manufactured for sale is strawberry-flavored. Ellie found that the probability of randomly choosing a pink starburst from a package of 10 starburst was 1/5.

When she opened 30 more packages of starburst, she found that the probability of choosing a strawberry randomly was 3/10.

What term best describes this discovery?

• sample space

• subjective probability

• law of large numbers

• complement of an event
