Jill rolled a "5" fifteen times out of 20 times on a dice.

Compare the theoretical and experimental probability. Which is greater?

• The theoretical probability is greater because it is more likely

• The experimental probability is greater because it is more likely

If the spinner was spun 50 times and landed on 11 fifteen times, which statement is true?

• The experimental probability of landing on 11 is 1/8 while the theoretical probability of landing on 11 is 3/10

• The theoretical probability of landing on 11 is 12.5% while the experimental probability of landing on 11 is 30%

• The experimental probability of landing on 11 is less than the theoretical probability of landing on 11

• The theoretical probability of landing on 11 is equal to the experimental probability of landing on 11
