Shannon has a bag of jelly beans. She removed one jelly bean, recording the color, and then replaced it. She repeated the process 44 times and record her results in the table. What is the experimental probability of her selecting a red jelly bean?
Experimental probability is based on
_____________
What you have. Without experiments
your tally. With experiments
Theoretical probability is based on ___________
What you have. Without experiments
your tally. With experiments
The bar graph shows the results of spinning the spinner 200 times. What is the experimental probability of landing on a 3?
The bar graph shows the results of spinning the spinner 200 times. The spinner only contains the numbers 1 - 5. What is the theoretical probability of landing on a 4 ?
