Question

Jerry has a spinner with 4 sections numbered 1 through 4. He suspects that the spinner is not fair because it seems to land on 2 more often than any other number. To test this, he spins the spinner 250 times and records the relative frequency of each outcome.

Outcome [1 2 3 4]
Relative frequency [0.26] [0.24] [0.24] [0.26]
Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement.

For the spinner to be fair, each outcome will be [equal/not equal]

The relative frequencies in the table are [relatively close/ vary different]

This means it is likely that the spinner is [fair/unfair]

Answer 1

The true statements are:

1. For the spinner to be fair, each outcome will be equal
2. The relative frequencies in the table are relatively close
3. This means it is likely that the spinner is fair

From the question, we understand that:

The spinner has 4 sections

This means that the probability of landing in a section is:

p = 1/4

p = 0.25

So, for the spinner to be fair, each outcome will be equal

The relative frequencies given in the table are relatively close

This in other words means that,  it is likely that the spinner is fair.
