document.write( "A.	Jose spins the spinner 8 times. In those 8 spins, the arrow never lands on 3. Based on this information, is the spinner  unfair? Explain.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "Well there only one number 3 so that will be (1/4) that equals 25% the spinner together equals 100% so if the spinner is spin 8 times and doesn't land on a 3 he should be concerned.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "Jose spins the spinner 500 times. In those 500 spins, the arrow lands on 3 a total of 42 times. Based on this information, should Jose be concerned that the spinner is unfair? Explain.Yes the spinner is begin unfair again he has a 25% chance to get the 3 if you multiply 25% by 500 you get 125 if you divide 125 by 500 it equals 25% again so if 42/500 equals 8.4% you know something has to be wrong<BR>\n" );

document.write( "The laws of probability are based on observations whose number is very large or actually as the number of observations approaches infinity. <BR>\n" );

document.write( "If it remained at 0, you would begin to be concerned and rightly so. <BR>\n" );
document.write( "Perhaps if you did 5000, you would be less concerned as the ratio improved and got closer to 1/4 of the observations.<BR>\n" );
