What word best describes the likelihood of the team losing?


Unlikely

There are 25 cards, 5 of each color.

The results of randomly selecting a card 625 times are shown:

 


What is the relative frequency of pulling a pink card?

A spinner is labeled 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4.

What is the probability of spinning either a 2 or a 4?


5/8=0.625=62.5%

In a game of chance, players spin the spinner.

 Outcomes of the game are shown in the table.

Which outcome 1, 2, 3, or 4, does the theoretical probability match the experimental probability?
