- 6. Multiple Choice
Jeffery used a spinner to conduct an experiment. The results of his first thirty spins are shown below:
Red 9, Green 8, Yellow 6, and Blue 7.
If Jeffery continues to spin the spinner an additional 500 times, what will happen to the probability of spinning yellow?
a) The experimental probability will move further away from the theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.
b) The experimental probability will remain the same as the number of trials increases.
c) The experimental probability will come closer to the theoretical probability as the number of trials increases.

- 10. Multiple Choice
30% of the starburst candy manufactured for sale is strawberry-flavored. Ellie found that the probability of randomly choosing a pink starburst from a package of 10 starburst was 1/5.
When she opened 30 more packages of starburst, she found that the probability of choosing a strawberry randomly was 3/10.
What term best describes this discovery?
sample space
subjective probability
law of large numbers
complement of an event
- 11. Multiple Choice
Jared flipped a fair coin 50 times. He expected half of his tosses to land on heads, but he only got heads 15 times. If he kept flipping the coin until he had flipped it 500 times, how many times should he get heads?
about 150
about 350
about 15
about 250
- 12. Multiple ChoiceThe probability of flipping a coin and landing on tails is 1/2.
If you flip the coin 100 times, approximately how many times could you expect to land on tails?50 times100 times200 times - 13. Multiple Choice
A fair coin is tossed 80 times. The coin lands on tails 38 times. Select ALL true statements about the probability of this scenario.
The more times the coin is tossed, the closer the experimental probability will get to the theoretical probability
The theoretical probability is less than the experimental probability of landing on tails.
The theoretical probability of landing on tails is 1/2 and the experimental probability of landing on tails is 19/40
The theoretical probability is the same as the experimental probability of landing on tails.

sample space
experimental probability
law of large numbers
theoretical probability
