Simulations to Estimate Probabilities — Unit test

Question 1 • Common Core Math 7 - MA3107 CR

Walter is conducting an experiment using a spinner with 4 equal sections. Which number of trials will lead to experimental outcomes that are most similar to his predicted outcomes?

Answer
A
4
B
25
C
40
D
90

Explanation

With more trials, experimental results tend to get closer to the predicted probabilities. Since the spinner has four equal sections, each outcome is predicted to occur about one-fourth of the time; 90 trials gives the most reliable comparison among the choices. Therefore, 90 trials is the best choice.
