Math Clip Art: Spinner, 9 Sections--Result 4

Topic

Probability and Statistics

Description

This image presents a spinner divided into nine equal sections colored red, green, dark yellow, light blue, orange, grey, brown, purple, and light yellow. The spinner's arrow points to the light blue section, demonstrating another possible outcome in this probability model.

In Probability and Statistics, this spinner illustrates a fair probability experiment with nine mutually exclusive and equally likely outcomes. It provides a visual representation of how each spin has an equal 1/9 chance of landing on any of the nine colors.

Teachers can use this image in conjunction with others to explain advanced concepts like experimental probability versus theoretical probability in multi-outcome scenarios. Students can conduct multiple spins, record results, and compare their findings to the expected equal distribution among the nine colors.

Teacher's Script: "Now we see the spinner landing on light blue. We've observed four out of nine possible outcomes. How close are our experimental results to the theoretical probability of 1/9 for each color? Let's discuss the importance of sample size in probability experiments. How might our results differ if we conducted 90 spins versus 900 spins?"
