you(bot) said: To calculate the discrepancies between the experimental and the expected probabilities, we need to subtract the expected probability of each outcome (1/6) from its experimental probability (frequency/total trials) and take the absolute value of the difference. Then, we need to find the smallest of those differences.
The table below shows the expected probabilities, the experimental probabilities, and the corresponding discrepancies:
| Outcome | Expected Probability | Experimental Probability | Absolute Difference |
|---------|---------------------|--------------------------|----------------------|
| 2 | 0.167 | 10/61 | 0.057 |
| 4 | 0.167 | 9/61 | 0.048 |
| 6 | 0.167 | 6/61 | 0.031 |
| 8 | 0.167 | 15/61 | 0.004 |
| 10 | 0.167 | 13/61 | 0.012 |
| 12 | 0.167 | 8/61 | 0.064 |
The smallest discrepancy is 0.004, which occurs for an outcome of 8. Therefore, the smallest discrepancy between the experimental and the expected probability is 0.004 (to the nearest thousandth).
Hence, the answer is 0.004. And you(bot) also said: I apologize for the mistake. After reviewing my response, I've identified an error in my calculations.
To calculate the discrepancies correctly, we need to take the absolute value of the difference between the experimental and the expected probabilities for each outcome.
The expected probability for each outcome is 1/6 = 0.1667 or approximately 0.167. The experimental probabilities are given by the frequencies divided by the total number of trials, which is 10 + 9 + 6 + 15 + 13 + 8 = 61.
To find the smallest discrepancy between the experimental and the expected probability, we need to calculate the absolute difference between the two for each outcome and then identify the smallest of those differences.
The table below shows the expected probabilities, the experimental probabilities, and the corresponding absolute differences:
| Outcome | Expected Probability | Experimental Probability | Absolute Difference |
|---------|---------------------|--------------------------|----------------------|
| 2 | 0.167 | 10/61 | 0.063 |
| 4 | 0.167 | 9/61 | 0.035 |
| 6 | 0.167 | 6/61 | 0.101 |
| 8 | 0.167 | 15/61 | 0.002 |
| 10 | 0.167 | 13/61 | 0.011 |
| 12 | 0.167 | 8/61 | 0.067 |
The smallest absolute difference is 0.002, which corresponds to the outcome of 8. Therefore, the smallest discrepancy between the experimental and the expected probability is 0.002 (to the nearest thousandth).
Hence, the answer is 0.002.

P(consonant) = frequency of consonants / total frequency
P(consonant) = 360 / (120 + 140 + 105 + 135)
P(consonant) = 360 / 500
P(consonant) = 0.72
Therefore, the approximate probability that the spinner will stop on a consonant on the next spin is 0.72.
The correct answer is (C) 0.72.

experimental probability = number of times red ball selected from Bowl A / total number of times both bowls selected
From the table, we see that Simon selected a total of 15 + 4 = 19 times, and out of those, he selected a red ball from Bowl A 15 times. Therefore, the experimental probability of picking a red ball from Bowl A is:
experimental probability = 15/19
Converting to percent form:
experimental probability = (15/19) x 100%
experimental probability = 78.95%
Therefore, the answer is (A) 78.95%.
