Sample: the first question, solved

What is the theoretical probability of flipping tails twice in a row on a fair coin?

📘 Worked solution
1/2×1/2 = 1/4.

And one from the hard end

Design an experiment comparing theoretical and experimental probabilities for 3 independent spins of a 4-section spinner (theoretical=1/64) versus a dependent draw-without-replacement scenario from 5 different colored marbles (theoretical=1/60). Predict expected counts after 120 trials for each, then explain which would show more variation.
