Answer the below questions based on the following spinner. Part A Explain the difference between theoretical and experimental probability for this spinner. Do we have enough information to find both? Information: the total of colors in the spinner is 5, has 1 red 1 blue 1 green 1 yellow 1 orange, and the spinner lands on orange
Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on all possible outcomes, while experimental probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on a series of actual outcomes from an experiment.
For this spinner, the theoretical probability of landing on orange would be 1 out of 5, since there is only 1 orange out of a total of 5 colors. The experimental probability would be the actual number of times the spinner lands on orange divided by the total number of spins.
We have enough information to find the theoretical probability, but we would need to conduct multiple spins in order to determine the experimental probability.
