Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: C. The results from both game A and game C align closely with the theoretical probability of winning those games, while the results from game B do not.

Explanation: I got it right on PLATO, but here's the actual explanation as well.

For game A, you have a 1 in 8 chance to land on 5, so you're going to do 1/8 which = .125 or 12.5%. Now you're going to do the number of wins divided by the total number of attempts. In this case, it'll be 26/199 (199 came from 26+173). This equals .131 or 13.1% which is really close to 12.5% and thus aligned closely with the theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on an 8 sided die.

You follow this same process for the other two games, doing 1/7 for the second game and 1/12 for the third, and then using their respective results.
