Josiah conducts an experiment that has 4 possible outcomes. Sally conducts an experiment that has 10 possible outcomes.

The students conduct 50 trials each. Which statement best compares the two experiments?

Josiah's results are more likely to be close to the predicted results because he had a smaller number of possible

outcomes.

Sally's results are more likely to be close to the predicted results because she had a larger number of possible outcomes.

Josiah and Sally have the same likelihood of the experimental results being close to the predicted results because they

used the same number of trials.

Josiah and Sally have the same likelihood of the experimental results being close to the predicted results because the

outcome of either experiment is unrelated to the outcome of the other experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the number of samples leads to a better prediction. So Sally's results will likely be better than Josiah's.
