Jill conducted three simulations of spinning a fair spinner (four sections of different colors--red, blue, yellow, green). The first simulation consisted of 40 spins, the second simulation consisted of 80 spins and the third simulation consisted of 120 spins. The results were recorded in the tables shown. Do the results for the green section follow the law of large numbers? Why or why not?

C) no, because with each simulation, as the number of trials increase, the probabilities vary greatly and do not approach the theoretical probability of 1/4. so that's your answer.
