Brian used the spinner picture below and recorded his results. He’s fine at 10 times and tallied up how many times he landed on each letter the letter C was two times the letter L was three times the letter E was one time the letter a was two times and the letter N was two times, his experimental probability of landing on the L is 3/10 what is the theoretical probability of landing on the L if the spinner is fine 10 times would it be 3/10 1/10 2/10 or 5/10
The theoretical probability of landing on a particular letter on a spinner can be calculated by dividing the number of possible outcomes for that letter by the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, there are a total of 5 different letters on the spinner (C, L, E, A, N), and each appears once. Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on the letter L would be 1/5 or 2/10.
So, the theoretical probability of landing on the L if the spinner is spun 10 times would be 10 times 2/10, which equals 2.
The correct answer is 2/10.
