Question

a) use the spin spinner simulation in the graphing - calculator probability simulator to construct a mystery spinner: • from the main menu, choose 4. spin spinner. • choose set. design your spinner • choose adv. change the probability values. note that the sum of these values must equal 1. • choose ok twice. b) trade with a classmate. work with your partner’s mystery spinner. look at the spinner. estimate the theoretical probability of each outcome. c) carry out several trials to determine the experimental probability of each outcome. when you are confident that you have solved the mystery spinner, check the spinner’s design by choosing set and then adv.

Explanation:

Step1: Construct mystery spinner

Follow the steps: Select 4. Spin Spinner from main - menu, then SET to design, ADV to adjust probabilities (sum = 1), and choose OK twice.

Step2: Estimate theoretical probabilities

When trading with a class - mate, look at the spinner and estimate the theoretical probability of each outcome based on the spinner's design.

Step3: Determine experimental probabilities

Carry out multiple trials. As the number of trials increases, the experimental probability of each outcome will approach the theoretical probability. Check the spinner's design using SET and ADV when confident of the solution.

Answer:

Follow the steps in a), b), and c) as described for constructing, estimating, and determining probabilities related to the mystery spinner.
