Question

A spinner has five congruent sections numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Rahm made 50 spins of this spinner and recorded the outcomes in this table.

Outcome Number
1 12
2 10
3 9
4 11
5 8

What is the theoretical probability of the spinner stopping on 5? What is the experimental probability of the spinner stopping on 5?

A.
Theoretical - 16%
Experimental - 20%

B.
Theoretical - 20%
Experimental - 20%

C.
Theoretical - 20%
Experimental - 8%

D.
Theoretical - 20%
Experimental - 16%

Answer 1

So theoretically he has a 1/5 chance to land on 5 right?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

but in the experiment only 8/50 landed on 5

Answer 4

right

Answer 5

so find the percentage for 1/5 for theoretical and 8/50 for experimental

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

theratical is 20 %

Answer 8

yep

Answer 9

and experimental 16%

Answer 10

yep :)

Answer 11

so its d

Answer 12

correct

Answer 13

thank you

Answer 14

no problem
