Question

Stacy uses a spinner with six equal sections numbered 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to play a game. Stacy spins the pointer 120 times and records the results. The pointer lands 30 times on a section numbered 2, 19 times on 3, 25 times on 4, 29 times on 5, and 17 times on 6. A winning spin is a 2.

Complete the table to find the theoretical and experimental probabilities of winning, and compare the two.

Answer 1

Answer: To compute the probabilities, just divide the number of times a number was landed by the total amount of outcomes. Stacy would spin a 6 approximately 0.14*50 = 7 times in 50 tries.
