Answer:

1) Wrong statement:

The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 1/10

Correct statement:

The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 3/200

2) Wrong statement:

The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 1/10

Correct statement:

The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 3/200

Step-by-step explanation:

N(Pennies) = 6

N(Nickels) = 8

N(Dimes) = 4

N(quarters) = 7

N(total) = 6 + 8 + 4 + 7

N(total) = 25

1) The theoretical probability of selecting a dime = 4/25

The experimental probability of selecting a dime = 30/150 = 1/5

B is wrong because theoretical probability is 4/25, not 9/50

Wrong statement:

The theoretical probability of selecting a dime is

Correct statement:

The theoretical probability of selecting a dime is 4/25

2) The experimental probability of selecting a penny = 45/200 = 9/40

The theoretical probability of selecting a penny = 6/25

Difference between experimental and theoretical probability = 6/25 - 9/40

Difference between experimental and theoretical probability = 3/200

Wrong statement:

The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 1/10

Correct statement:

The difference between the experimental and theoretical probability is 3/200
