Bronwyn used the spinner pictured below and recorded his results. He spun it 10 times and tallied up how many times he landed on each letter.

C - 2 times
L - 3 times
E - 1 time
A - 2 times
N - 2 times

His experimental probability of landing on the letter L is 3/10

Part 1: What is the theoretical probability of landing on the letter L if the spinner is spun 10 times?

A. 3/10
B. 1/10
C. 2/10
D. 5/10
