GP 4 Week 6 Reflection (DUE 5/8)

Tara and Sara are going to play a spinner game. These are the rules:
- Both Spinners are labeled 1 - 5
  • When it is a player's turn, you spin both spinners.
  • Add the 2 numbers that the spinner points to.
  • If the sum is odd, Tara wins even if it is not her turn.
  • If the sum is even, Sara wins even if it is not her turn.
Who has a better chance of winning?

  1. There chance is equivalent.
    There is a 50/50 chance you can get a even or odd number. It depends on the numbers they're adding because that could change the sum. It doesn't matter the order of the numbers just what specific numbers you adding.

  4. The chances are balanced. So you have a 50% chance to get even and a 50% to get odd. The sum would change if they had added any number. I wouldn't matter the order of the numbers. Just the numbers your adding.. That is all.

  6. Sara has the better chance. If both the spinners are labeled 1-5, then there is 6 odd numbers and 4 even numbers if you add both the odds and evens on both spinners. So there is a 60% chance the spinner points to odd numbers and 40% chance the spinner points to even numbers.

  8. Sara would have a better chance. Since both of the spinners are labeled 1-5 each one would have 3 odd numbers (6 odd numbers total) and 2 even numbers (4 even numbers total). Meaning there is a 60% chance of landing on an odd number and a 20% chance of landing on an even number.

  10. Nobody has a better chance, it is equal. It really just depends the two numbers you add, is it going to be even or odd. This is how it is an equal chance of getting even or odd.

  11. There chance is equivalent. There is a 50% chance that you can get a even or odd number. It mainly depends on the numbers they are adding . It does not matter what kind of order the numbers just what numbers your adding.

  12. There is 3 odd numbers 1,3, and 5. There is 2 even numbers 2, and 4. There is 2 spinners so there would be 6 odd numbers and 4 even numbers. Sara has better chance of winning with a 60% than Tara does with a 40% chance of winning.

  14. i agree with india. if you spin both spinners theres a bigger bigger chance of you landing on an odd. since there is a total of 6 odds altogether.

  15. The chances are balanced. So you have a 50% chance to get even and a 50% to get odd. The sum would change if they had added any number. I wouldn't matter the order of the numbers.

  18. Tara has a better chance of winning. What I did was I found out all of the sums of every possible chance of the 2 numbers that the spinner points too. I found that there is a 26 sums that will add up to be an even number out of 50 sums. There would be 24 sums that will add up to be an odd number out of 50 sums. When I put these into percentages Tara as she is odd has a 52% chance and Sara as she is even has a 48% chance. Since more of the sums will end up being odd numbers Tara has a better chance of winning.

  20. It would be 50/50. It would be like this because you could get a variation of numbers that would be even or odd with the numbers you have to work with. It is a random equality to each other.

  21. They both are balanced There is a 50/50 chance you can get a even or odd number. It really just depends on the numbers they're adding because that could change the sum. It doesn't matter the order of the numbers just what specific numbers you adding.
