A spinner with four equal-size sections marked M, A, T, and H is spun 100 times. The results are shown below.
What is the theoretical probability of landing on A? Write your answer as a fraction (reduce), decimal (round to the nearest tenth), and percent (round to the nearest whole percent).

Manny rolls a number cube labeled 1 through 6 and spins a spinner with four equal sections, labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. If both numbers are odd, he wins. Otherwise, Gabriel winds. Create a TREE DIAGRAM to determine the probability the Gabriel wins.
3/4, 0.75, 75%

A restaurant offers six kids-meal prizes. The prizes are placed in the meals at random. Describe a model that could be used to simulate selecting one of the prizes.
Sample answer: Roll a number cube and assign a different prize to each number on the cube.

A number cube labeled 1-6 is rolled.
Find the probability of not getting an even number. Write your answer as a fraction (reduce), decimal (round to the nearest tenth), and percent (round to the nearest whole percent).

A spinner with four equal-size sections marked M, A, T, and H is spun 100 times. The results are shown below.
Compare the theoretical probability to the experimental probability of landing on H.
25% is close to 28% so the experiment was done enough.
