Mia decided to experiment with probability by rolling a 6-sided number cube. She knows that theoretical probability states that if you roll the cube six times, each number should appear once.

Mia rolled the cube six times and got the following results.

Because Mia did not roll a 3 or a 4 at all, she has decided that theoretical probability is not true. Is Mia's decision justified?

• No, Mia's decision is not justified. If she rolled the number cube more times, she would find that the more she rolled, the closer her experimental probability would get to the theoretical probability.

• No, Mia's decision is not justified. She should know that theoretical probability is a mathematical concept and should not argue with it.

• Yes, Mia's decision is justified. Her experiment proved that the theory was wrong.

• Yes, Mia's decision is justified. It is common knowledge that you will never produce one of each number if you roll six times.

If the spinner is spun 300 times during an experiment, how many times could you expect it to land on "Blue"?

• Exactly 200 times

• Approximately 200 times

• Exactly 100 times

• Approximately 100 times

Josh conducted an experiment with the bag of marbles. He will draw a marble out of the bag, record the result, return the marble to the bag, and draw another marble, continuing the process.

If he completes this process 600 times, about how many times should he expect to draw a striped marble?

• Approximately 400 times

• Approximately 250 times

• Approximately 200 times

• Approximately 150 times
