the theoretical and experimental probability are so different? Mark all true statments.

• The experimental probability only matches the theoretical probability in a very small number of trials.

• The spinner may not be a fair spinner. The experimental probability assumes that the spinner is a fair spinner.

• The spinner may not be a fair spinner. The theoretical probability assumes that the spinner is a fair spinner.

• The experimental probability of an event occurring is not guaranteed to match the theoretical​ probability, but with more​ trials, they should get closer.

• If a large number of trials are preformed and the experimental and theoretical probabilities remain very different, it is possible that the spinner may be rigged.
