Question

JADA, DIEGO, AND ELENA EACH USE THE SAME SPINNER THAT HAS FOUR (NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL SIZED) SECTIONS MARKED A, B, C, AND D.

JADA SAYS, "THE PROBABILITY OF SPINNING B IS 0.3 BECAUSE I SPUN 10 TIMES, AND IT LANDED ON B 3 TIMES."
DIEGO SAYS, "THE PROBABILITY OF SPINNING B IS 20% BECAUSE I SPUN 5 TIMES, AND IT LANDED ON B ONCE."
ELENA SAYS, "THE PROBABILITY OF SPINNING B IS 2/7 BECAUSE I SPUN 7 TIMES, AND IT LANDED ON B TWICE."

Based on their methods, which probability do you think is most accurate? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

It will most likely be Jada’s probability because Jada spun the most times.
