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 .
