Penelope has a jar containing red, green, and blue marbles of the same size and shape. She randomly selects one marble from the jar, records its color, and puts it back in the jar. She repeats this process 200 times. The table shows the results of the experiment.

What is the experimental probability of choosing a blue marble?

• $\frac{1}{3}$

• $\frac{25}{200}$

• $\frac{1}{8}$

• $\frac{1}{25}$

Penelope has a jar containing red, green, and blue marbles of the same size and shape. She randomly selects one marble from the jar, records its color, and puts it back in the jar. She repeats this process 200 times. The table shows the results of the experiment.

What is the theoretical probability of choosing a green marble?

• $\frac{1}{2}$

• $\frac{1}{3}$

• $\frac{100}{200}$

• $\frac{75}{200}$

The arrow of this spinner was spun 30 times and landed on the blue section 12 times. The arrow will be spun one more time.

What is the theoretical probability that the arrow will land on the blue section on the next spin?

• $\frac{12}{30}$

• $\frac{1}{3}$

• $\frac{2}{5}$

• $\frac{1}{30}$

A bag contained one red, one blue, and one green ball. Each ball in the bag is the same size and shape. Mr. Smith selected a ball from the bag without looking, recorded the color, and returned the ball to the bag. He did this four times, and the results were red, green, blue, green. Determine the experimental probability of Mr. Smith selecting a red ball from the bag.

• $\frac{1}{3}$

• $\frac{1}{4}$

• $\frac{1}{2}$

• $\frac{3}{4}$

• The experimental probability is $\frac{1}{5}$ and theoretical probability is $\frac{1}{5}$

• The experimental probability is $\frac{1}{5}$ and theoretical probability is $\frac{4}{15}$

• The experimental probability is $\frac{4}{15}$ and theoretical probability is $\frac{1}{5}$

• The experimental probability is $\frac{4}{15}$ and theoretical probability is $\frac{4}{15}$

When rolling a fair number cube numbered 1 through 6, which of the following is true?

• The theoretical probability is always greater than the experimental probability.

• The theoretical probability is always less than the experimental probability.

• The more times the cube is rolled the closer the experimental probability gets to the theoretical probability.

• The number 6 will appear more than the number 1.

A standard coin has two sides. One side is heads and one side is tails. The coin is tossed 500 times. According to theoretical probability, how many times should the coin land on tails?

• 500

• 100

• 300

• 250
