Samantha is conducting an experiment in which she is spinning a multicolored spinner, where each section is the same shape and size, and there is only one section of each color. After Samantha spins 50 times, she writes down her data in the follwing chart. Green-14, Blue-7, Red-10, Yellow-6, Purple-13. Based on the theoretical probability, Samantha was expecting to land on each color 10 times. Part A, Calculate the experimental probability for each color. Show the work you used to arrive at this answer. Part B, Explain what could happen to the experimental probabilities if the same experiment were conducted 1,000 more times.
