Question

Dylan and Tiffany each constructed a two-color spinner. Dylan spun his spinner 3 times and calculated that the relative frequency of his spinner landing on blue (0.67) and on red (0.33). Tiffany spun her spinner 200 times and calculated the relative probability of her spinner landing on blue (0.60) and on red (0.40). How can Dylan's and Tiffany's calculations be used to evaluate the fairness of the two spinners?

Answer 1

Answer: You can calculate the likeliness of the spinner landing on blue or red as the more spins you have the more accurate the results would be. In this case, after 200 spins Tiffany calculated that the spinner landing on blue has a 60% chance while landing on red has a 40% chance. Therefore this might not be fair as there is a 60% chance of landing on blue.
