Checkpoint: Theoretical Probability Solution

Determine the probability for each of the outcomes.

Spinning an arrow that stops on:

Green: $P (G) = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

Red: $P (R) = \frac{1}{4}$

Not blue: $P (not blue) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

White: $P (W) = 0$

Note

Q: Explain what color you would expect the arrow to stop on most often.

A: Green, because it had the probability $\frac{1}{2},$ which is closest to one.
