A student had. A spinner and a coin the student was running an experiment for math class the spinner had an equal chance of landing on 4 colors
, while the coin had an equal chance of landing on heads or tails. The student decided to spin the spinner and flip the coin at the same time to see what combination of outcomes they would get.
After spinning the spinner and flipping the coin, the student observed that the spinner landed on blue and the coin landed on heads. The student recorded this outcome in their notebook and repeated the experiment several more times to collect more data. They found that out of 10 trials, the spinner landed on blue and the coin landed on heads 3 times.
The student then analyzed their data and calculated the experimental probability of the spinner landing on blue and the coin landing on heads. They found that the probability of this outcome occurring was 3 out of 10, or 30%.
The student was happy with the results of their experiment and presented their findings to the class. They explained the concept of experimental probability and how it can be used to predict the likelihood of certain outcomes occurring in a given experiment. The class was impressed with the student's work and learned a valuable lesson in probability and statistics.
