To approximate the probability of spinning letters C and E, we need to calculate the probability of spinning each letter individually, and then multiply those probabilities together.

Probability of spinning C: \( \frac{23}{150} \) = 0.1533
Probability of spinning E: \( \frac{37}{150} \) = 0.2467

Probability of spinning both C and E: 0.1533 * 0.2467 = 0.0379

Therefore, the approximate probability of spinning letters C and E is 0.0379 or 3.79%.

I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify the steps for calculating the probability of spinning letters C and E:

1. Calculate the individual probabilities of spinning each letter:
- Probability of spinning C = Number of occurrences of C / Total number of spins = 23 / 150 = 0.1533 (15.33%)
- Probability of spinning E = Number of occurrences of E / Total number of spins = 37 / 150 = 0.2467 (24.67%)

2. To find the probability of spinning both C and E, multiply the individual probabilities together:
- Probability of spinning both C and E = Probability of spinning C * Probability of spinning E
- Probability of spinning both C and E = 0.1533 * 0.2467 = 0.0379 (3.79%)

Therefore, the approximate probability of spinning both letters C and E in a single spin is 0.0379 or 3.79%. I hope this explanation clarifies the calculation process for you. Let me know if you have any more questions.

The theoretical probability of spinning letters C and E can be calculated using the individual probabilities of spinning each letter and assuming that the outcomes are independent events.

The theoretical probability of spinning C is 20.0%, or 0.20.
The theoretical probability of spinning E is also 20.0%, or 0.20.

To find the theoretical probability of spinning both C and E, we multiply the individual probabilities together:
Theoretical probability of spinning both C and E = Probability of spinning C * Probability of spinning E
Theoretical probability of spinning both C and E = 0.20 * 0.20 = 0.04 or 4.0%

Comparing the theoretical probability (4.0%) with the experimental probability from part (c) (3.79%), we see that they are close but not exactly the same. This difference is likely due to the variability in the experimental results compared to the theoretical expectations.

Sure! Let's simplify the explanation for a 7th-grade level:

The theoretical probability of spinning letters C and E is like our best guess based on what we know. The chance of spinning letter C is 20 out of 100 (or 20%) and the chance of spinning letter E is also 20 out of 100 (or 20%). When we multiply these together, we get the theoretical probability of spinning both C and E, which is 4 out of 100 (or 4%).

When we compared this to what actually happened (experimental probability), we found that spinning both C and E in a single spin was a little bit less likely than what we expected – it was about 3.79% instead of 4%.

So, the theoretical probability (4%) and the experimental probability (3.79%) are close, but not exactly the same. This small difference is because real-life results can sometimes be a bit different from what we expect in theory.
