    The given statement "If you spin the spinner again and g results, the theoretical probability will change" is false.

    Option C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since there are 5 sections of equal size, the theoretical probability of landing on any one of the them is equal. The probability of landing on any one of the sections is 20%. The experimental probability is based on the results of an actual experiment, meaning spinning the spinner, and recording the results.

    A. The theoretical probability of a 1 is 20%. True as explained above.

    B. The experimental probability of a 2 is 25%. True. There were 4 spins. One spin resulted in a 2. The experimental probability of spinning a 1 is 1/4 or 25 (1/4) %.

    C. If you spin the same spinner again and get different results, the experimental probabilities are different, but the theoretical probabilities have changed (This is the complete option). But this is false.

    The theoretical probability is always 20% for any of the sections, 1, 2, 3, 4 or, 5. The experimental probability depends on the results of the actual spins that were performed.

    D. All of the above is true!, is a true statement.
