Theres is a 10% chance of rain tomorrow. A spinner with 10 sections is spun to simulate the probability of rain, where spinning a 1 indicates rain. If the results are 3, 6, 1, 8, and 3, then what is the difference in the experimental probability from the simulation and the prediction?

There is a difference of 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, the theoretical probability, the probability of something based on logic, is 10%. This means that if the spinner was spun 10 times it would land on 1 once. However, the experimental probability, the probability determined by the results of an experiment, is 20%. This number can be found by finding how many times the spinner actually landed on 1. Out of 5 spins, the spinner landed on 1 once. So the experimental probability is 1/5, which is equal to 20%. Therefore, there is a 10% difference in the prediction and simulation.
