Construct a spinner with the following characteristics:
It is certain to land on blue, yellow, green, or red.
It is twice as likely to land on red than green.
It is equally likely to land on blue or green.
It is more likely to land on yellow than not land on yellow.
B. Based on your spinner, identify some fractions that could possibly describe the probability of landing on each color. Justify your answer.

Look at the tally chart on the right. How many times did Luke roll the number cube?
Based on Luke’s experiment, find the probabilities of rolling each number.
P(1) = P(2) = P(3) =
P(4) = P(5) = P(6) =

Students in Luke’s class combined the results of their experiments rolling a number cube. The results are shown in the table at the right.
If the class repeats the experiment for a total of 1,000 trials, predict how many times each number will occur?
