This activity allows the user to explore experimental and theoretical probabilities adding and removing sections of a circle.

When a section is added the applet divides the area of the circle into equal portions. When this occurs, the probability that any color will be landed on is equal. Theoretical probability is the probability that you would predict that a certain color would be landed on. The experimental probability is the actual outcome after running an experiment a given number of trials.
