Browning use the spinner pictured below and recorded his results. He spun 10 times how many times on each letter.
C - 2 times
L - 3 times
E - 1 times
A - 2 times
N - 2 times
His experimental probability of landing on the L is 3/10
Part one: what is the theoretical probability of landing on the L if the spinner is spun 10 times
Answer choices:
3/10
1/10
2/10
5/10
Part two: how do Bronwyns Experimental and theoretical probabilities compare fill the blank with the correct choice to complete the sentence
Bronwyns Experimental probability of spinning the letter L _______ The theoretical probability of spelling the letter L
Answer choices:
Was greater than
Was less than
11 answers
Was equal to
Solve part 1 and Part 2
Part 1:
The theoretical probability of landing on the letter L can be calculated by taking the total number of times the spinner can land on L (3) and dividing it by the total number of possible outcomes (10). Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on L is:
3/10
Part 2:
The experimental probability of landing on the letter L (3/10) is equal to the theoretical probability of landing on L (3/10). Therefore, you would fill in the blank with:
Was equal to
The theoretical probability of landing on the letter L can be calculated by taking the total number of times the spinner can land on L (3) and dividing it by the total number of possible outcomes (10). Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on L is:
3/10
Part 2:
The experimental probability of landing on the letter L (3/10) is equal to the theoretical probability of landing on L (3/10). Therefore, you would fill in the blank with:
Was equal to
You get to pick greater than or less than
In that case, you would fill in the blank with:
Was equal to
Was equal to
Wrong
I apologize for the error in my previous responses. Let's correct it:
The theoretical probability of landing on the letter L if the spinner is spun 10 times is 3/10.
Comparing the experimental and theoretical probabilities:
Bronwyn's Experimental probability of spinning the letter L was **less than** the theoretical probability of spinning the letter L.
The theoretical probability of landing on the letter L if the spinner is spun 10 times is 3/10.
Comparing the experimental and theoretical probabilities:
Bronwyn's Experimental probability of spinning the letter L was **less than** the theoretical probability of spinning the letter L.
Wrong try both parts again
Part 1: The theoretical probability of landing on the letter L if the spinner is spun 10 times can be calculated by taking the total number of favorable outcomes (landing on L, which is 3) and dividing it by the total number of possible outcomes (10).
Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on L is:
3/10
Part 2: Comparing experimental and theoretical probabilities:
Bronwyn's Experimental probability of spinning the letter L was **less than** the theoretical probability of spinning the letter L.
Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on L is:
3/10
Part 2: Comparing experimental and theoretical probabilities:
Bronwyn's Experimental probability of spinning the letter L was **less than** the theoretical probability of spinning the letter L.
What is the answer to part 1
