Jill is going to conduct three simulations of spinning a fair spinner (four sections of different colors--red, blue, yellow, green). The first simulation she will spin the spinner 40 times, the second simulation she will spin the spinner 80 times and for the third simulation she will spin the spinner 120 times. What should she expect to happen to the experimental probability of getting the color red as she completes each simulation?

With the given situation, it may be deduced that the probability of getting the color red as Jill completes each simulation is higher when the sample space of number is lower because there would be a lesser value for the denominator in calculation of the probability.
