Bruce has a spinner with four equal sections that are labeled A, B, C and D. He spun the spinner 8 times. It landed on A 3 times, B 1 time, and C 4 times. If he spins the spinner a 9th time, which of the following statements is true?

A. It is equally likely to be A, B, C, or D.

B. It is more likely to be D because it has not been landed on.

C. It is more likely to be C because it has landed on C the most.

D. It is not likely to be D because it has not been landed on.

A.

All have an equal probability. One letter is not “due” because of previous spins
