A spinner with 5 equally sized slices has 2 yellow slices, 2 red slices, and 1 blue slice. Raina spun the dial 25 times and got the following results.

Outcome Yellow Red Blue
Number of spins 9 10 6

 

Answer the following. Round your answers to the nearest thousandths.

 

(a)From Raina's results, compute the experimental probability of landing on yellow.
 
(b)Assuming that the spinner is fair, compute the theoretical probability of landing on yellow.
 
(c)Assuming that the spinner is fair, choose the statement below that is true.
 
 
With a small number of spins, it is surprising when the experimental probability is much
less than the theoretical probability.
 
With a small number of spins, it is not surprising when the experimental probability is much
less than the theoretical probability.
 
With a small number of spins, the experimental probability will always be much less than
the theoretical probability.
