Problem of the week (check the scoring guide) The problem of the week is due next Monday. Students are to use diagrams, charts, and tables as needed. Explain the process used to solve the problem. Be neat.

1) You have two spinners. One is divided into five parts and has equal space for the following colors: Red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The second has the numbers 1 to 6 in evenly divided spaces. What is the theoretical probability of getting Yellow-5? Blue-2?
Using [computer generated*] random information, what is the "experimental" probability of getting these combinations? Show your problems set-up, your data, your results table and your calculations.
Explain your findings. Use tables, diagrams, etc.
*Be sure you get it from school BEFORE the weekend!!!!
