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 written like a 8th grader
Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total possible outcomes. In this case, since the spinner has 5 colors, each color has an equal chance of landing, so the theoretical probability of landing on orange would be 1 out of 5, or 1/5.
Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on actual experiments or trials. We can conduct multiple spins of the spinner and record how many times it lands on orange out of the total number of spins in order to calculate experimental probability.
Based on the information provided, we have enough information to find the theoretical probability of landing on orange (1/5). However, in order to find the experimental probability, we would need to conduct multiple spins or trials of the spinner.
