Problem 1


__Total Possible Outcomes (TPO)__ 1st Spinner - 4 2nd Spinner - 5 4x5=20 If spun together at the same time, there are 20 possible outcomes. To use this table, multiply number that is colored multiplied by the number on the left, gives the result of the number on the right of the table. It is like a times table. The colored numbers represent the numbers on the **1st spinner.** The theoretical probability of the product being 5 or less is 9/20, or 45% -1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 1x4, 1x5, 2x1, 2x2, 3x1, 4x1 The theoretical probability of the product being even is 14/20, or 70% - 1x2, 1x4, 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 3x2, 3x4, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4, 4x5

__1st Spinner__ The spinner is divided into 4 equal parts. That is like 100% divided into 4, which is 25%. Each part of the spinner has a theoretical probability of 25%. All parts in this spinner have a 25% chance of the arrow landing on it. __2nd Spinner__ The spinner is divided into 5 equal parts. That is like 100% divided into 5 parts, which is 20%. Each part of the spinner has a theoretical probability of 20%. All parts in this spinner have a 20% chance of the arrow landing on it. All the numbers in each spinner have the same probability of being spun.
 * What has the greatest possibility of being spun?**
