    A certain spinner is divided into 6 sectors of equal size, and the spinner is equally likely to land in any sector. Four of the 6 sectors are shaded, and the remaining sectors are not shaded.Which of the following is the best interpretation of the probability that one spin of the spinner will land in a shaded sector?

  • For many spins, the long-run relative frequency with which the spinner will land in a shaded sector is 13\frac{1}{3}31​ .
  • For many spins, the long-run relative frequency with which the spinner will land in a shaded sector is 12\frac{1}{2}21​
  • For many spins, the long-run relative frequency with which the spinner will land in a shaded sector is 23\frac{2}{3}32​

    A business journal reports that the probability that Internet users in the United States will use a mobile payment app is 0.60. The journal claims this indicates that out of 5 randomly selected Internet users, 3 will use the mobile payment app.Is the business journal interpreting the probability correctly?

  • No, because the Internet users are not independent of each other.
  • No, because only 60% of all people use the Internet.
  • No, because 0.60 represents probability in the long run for many Internet users.
  • Yes, because Internet users are selected at random.
  • Yes, because 3 out of 5 is equal to 60%.
