Worksheet - Week 2 Section 11.1: Probability Basic Concepts Spinner A and Spinner B are shown below. A B 2 2 4 3 The theoretical probability of an event E is P(E) = - number of favorable outcomes total number of outcomes 1. What is the theoretical probability that Spinner A lands on a "2" ? 1 4 2. What is the theoretical probability that Spinner B lands on a "2" ? 2 1/ 3 The empirical probability of an event E is P(E) = number of times event E occured number of times the experiment was performed 3. Suppose that Spinner A is spun 50 times, and it lands on a "2" a total of 14 times. Based on these results, what is the empirical probability that Spinner A lands on a "2" ? 4. Suppose that Spinner B is spun 50 times, and it lands on a "2" a total of 19 times. Based on these results, what is the empirical probability that Spinner B lands on a "2" ? 5. Describe in your own words how the Law of Large Numbers can be applied to this spinner example
