Question

A spinner has five equal sections that are red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. In 50 trials, the spinner stopped on the orange section 24% of the time.

Which is most likely to happen in 500 spins?

Answer 1

Theoretically, all of them must be equal.

Answer 2

Experimentally, 24% of 500.

Answer 3

so it is biased

Answer 4

A spinner has five EQUAL sections that are red, blue, green, yellow, and orange.

Answer 5

law of large numbers : as trials increase, the proportion of an outcome approaches the probability of that particular outcome

Answer 6

@openstudier: not biased; just not enough trials.

Answer 7

though if we are only predicting, we must predict that all of them are equally probable.

Answer 8

In 50 trials it can be likely to see 24% for orange,
but in 500 trials it is more likely to see xx% of oragne - cuz xx% is its probability

Answer 9

xx = probability for orange

Answer 10

okay so here are the possible answers A spinner has five equal sections that are red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. In 50 trials, the spinner stopped on the orange section 24% of the time.

Which is most likely to happen in 500 spins?



A.

B.
The percent of orange outcomes will be exactly 24%.


C.
The percent of orange outcomes will approach 20%.


D.
The percent of orange outcomes will approach 24%.

Answer 11
