Question

Denzel used the spinner shown below to compare theoretical probability and experimental probability. He spun the spinner 180 times and recorded the letter that it landed on each time. The results are shown in the table..

Which statement correctly compares the theoretical probability and experimental probability for one of the letters on the spinner?

A. The theoretical probability of landing on a C is greater than the experimental probability of landing on an C.

B. The theoretical probability of landing on a D is greater than the experimental probability of landing on an D.

C. The theoretical probability of landing on a B is less than the experimental probability of landing on an B.

D. The theoretical probability of landing on an A is less than the experimental probability of landing on an A.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The theoretical probability of landing on A, B, C, or D is all 1/4. This would also mean the theoretical probability is 45/180. Statement C is the only one that is true.
