Jake has a spinner with 5 equal sections, each a different color. After only 10 spins, the pointer had landed on red 40% of the time. After a whopping 1,000 spins, the pointer landed on red only 22% of the time. How can Jake account for this change in experimental probability?
As the number of trials increase, the experimental probability reaches closer to the theoretical probability.
