The theoretical probability of landing on the green section is 1/4 since there are 4 equal-sized areas on the spinner.
The experimental probability of landing on the green section is 9/25 based on the results given.
So the experimental probability (9/25) is greater than the theoretical probability (1/4) of landing on the green section.
Therefore, the answer is A. Greater than.
Jason spun a spinner with 4-equal sized areas (green, yellow, blue and red) 25 times, with the results shown below. Is the experimental probability greater than, less than, or equal to the theoretical probability of landing on a green section?
