Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Define experimental probability and explain how it differs from theoretical probability.
2. A coin is flipped 50 times. It lands on heads 28 times. The experimental probability of landing on heads is . The theoretical probability of landing on heads is .
3. A spinner with 4 equal sections (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow) is spun 100 times. The results are: Red: 20, Blue: 35, Green: 25, Yellow: 20. The experimental probability of landing on Blue is . The theoretical probability of landing on Blue is .
4. A factory produces light bulbs. Out of 1000 bulbs tested, 15 were found to be defective. What is the experimental probability that a randomly selected light bulb from this factory will be defective?

5. Describe an experiment you could conduct to determine the experimental probability of rolling a '6' on a standard six-sided die. Include the number of trials you would perform and why.
6. As the number of trials in an experiment increases, the experimental probability tends to get closer to the theoretical probability.
