Bronwyn used the spinner pictured below and recorded his results. He spun it 10 times and tallied up how many times he landed on each letter.
C - 2 times
L - 3 times
E - 1 time
A - 2 times
N - 2 times
His experimental probability of landing on the letter L is 3/10
.
Part 1: What is the theoretical probability of landing on the letter L if the spinner is spun 10 times?
The theoretical probability of landing on the letter L can be calculated by dividing the number of outcomes that result in landing on L by the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, there are 10 possible outcomes when spinning the spinner 10 times, and the letter L appears 3 times. Therefore, the theoretical probability of landing on the letter L is 3/10.
