Answer:
Brown's experimental probability is closest to it's theoretical probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
Theoretical:
There are 5 colors so the probability of getting orange is 1/5
The probability of getting purple is 1/5
and so on... each color has the probability of 1/5 of being used
We just need to see what experimental probability is closest to .2
Experimental probability:
So Orange 118/625=.1888
Purple 137/625=.2192
Brown 122/625=.1952
Yellow 106/625=.1696
Green 142/625=.2272
So the closest from below .2 is .1952 (which is brown)
The closest from above .2 is .2192 (which is purple.
If you aren't sure which one is closer.. you can see which difference is closer to 0.
.2-.1952=.0048
.2192-.2=.0192
.1952 is the winner since .0048 is closer to 0 than .0192 is
So Brown !
