A spinner has 5-equally sided sections labeled 1 through 5. What is the theoretical probability of landing on a number less than 4?
3/5 OR 0.6 OR 60%
A bag of marbles contains 7 red, 6 green, and 10 blue marbles. A marble is chosen at random and then placed back into the bag. The red marble is selected 12 times, the green 11 times, and the blue 23 times. Find and compare the theoretical and experimental probability of selecting the green marble.
6/23 and 11/46.
The two probabilities are pretty close to each other.

A bag contains 3 blue, 5 red, and 7 yellow marbles. A marble is chosen at random. What is the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble.
3/15 or 0.2 or 20%
There is a jar of jellybeans. 7 are blue, 3 are red, and 5 are pink. I reach in and grab one and then put it back 150 times. 50 are blue, 12 are red, and 38 are pink. Compare the theoretical and experimental probability of pulling a pink jellybean from the jar.
5/15 and 38/150.
The two probabilities are not close to each other. The theoretical probability is higher.

3/14 or 0.21 or 21%
In a bag there are 17 triangles, 23 hearts, and 15 circles. I reach in and grab one and then put it back into the bag 40 times. I grab 12 triangles, 18 hearts, and 10 circles. Compare the theoretical and experimental probability of pulling a circle from the bag.
15/55 and 10/40.
