Question

A game of chance has a spinner with five equal-sized sections, The results of 625 spins are shown below. For which color is the difference between the theoretical probability and experimental probability greatest? Explain.

Answer 1

The color that has the greatest difference between the theoretical and experimental probability is yellow.

Which color has the greatest difference?

Theoretical probability of each color = number of color in each section / total number of sections

1/5 = 0.2

Experimental probability is based on the result of an experiment that has been carried out multiples times

Experimental probability

Experimental probability of choosing orange = 118 / 625 = 0.19

Difference = 0.2 - 0.19 = 0.01

Experimental probability of choosing purple = 137 / 625 = 0.22

Difference 0.22 - 0.2 = 0.02

Experimental probability of choosing brown = 122 / 625 = 0.20

0.2 - 0.2 = 0

Experimental probability of choosing yellow = 106 / 625 = 0.17

0.20 - 0.1696 = 0.0304

Experimental probability of choosing green = 142 / 625 = 0.23

0.2272 - 0.20 = 0.0272
