Bentley spun a spinner with 4 equal sections labeled 1–4. The spinner landed on 1 three times, on 2 four times, on 3 six times, and on 4 three times. For which number is the experimental probability the same as its theoretical probability? Explain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability : (Number of times event occur / total number of trials)

Total Number of trials = (3 + 4 + 6 + 3) = 16

Experimental probability :

For 1: P(1) :

3/16

For 2 : P(2) :

4/16 = 1/4

For 3: P(3)

6 /16 = 3/8

For 4 : P(4)

3 / 16

Theoretical probability :

The Theoretical probability of 1, 2, 3 and 4 are the same ;

Theoretical probability =

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

For each of 1 - 4

Theoretical probability = 1 /4

Experimental probability of P(2) = 1/ 4 and is Hence, the same as the Theoretical probability
