Refer to the spinner shown. The spinner is divided into nine sections with the same area. You spin the spinner 32 times. It stops on a multiple of three 12 times.

How does the experimental probability of stopping on a multiple of three compare to the theoretical probability that the spinner stops on a multiple of three?

• The experimental probability is equal to the theoretical probability.

• The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability.

• The experimental probability is less than the theoretical probability.

• The experimental probability cannot be determined.

A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. What is the probability that the coin shows tails and the die shows a 1 or 2?

• 1/2

• 1/4

• 1/6

Which of these pairs of events are dependent?

(This question may have more than one correct answer.)

• You flip a coin and get tails. You flip it a second time and get heads.

• You pull your friend's name out of a hat that holds 20 different names, replace the name, then draw out your friend's name again.

• You spin a spinner divided into five equal parts and is numbered 1-5. You get a 3 on the first spin, and then spin again and get a 2 on the second spin.

• You remove a black sock from a drawer without looking, then remove another black sock.

• You choose a blueberry donut randomly from a mixed box and eat it. Then you choose a chocolate donut.
