Question

I don't understand whether he wants the theoretical probability of the outcomes out of 1000, or wants me to use the chart? Also, I'm confused because if he does want me to use the chart, all the numbers would be a favorable outcome. The question is: Calculate the theoretical probability of moving 4 or less spaces in 3 spins (i.e. obtaining the sum of the spins to be 4 or less). Use your probability distribution in part (a) and note that spins are independent. (Hint: Recognize that getting a 1 on spin 1, a 2 on spin 2, and a 1 on spin 3 is a different result than getting a 1 on spin 1, a 1 on spin 2, and a 2 on spin 3.) Show how you obtained this probability and provide the answer. Also the chart may be labeled wrong
