Global collaboration:
Now one person from each team should click this survey link and enter your results into the global survey. Click this link to see the results entered from all the others across the globe.

//__Take a screenshot of the global results and save it in your Spinner report document__.// Jot down the following observations for your report:

// ** 1.The number of total results collected in the global survey. ** //

11. Before you document your predictions to the following scenario based on your data in your Spinner Report document: you go on to Problem 3,

If you walked into the Slushie store with 5 friends and you each spun the wheel for a slushie, what color or colors would you expect each of you to receive?

Use the data you collected to predict and then compare with two other groups. Defend how your data supports your answer. Do all of you agree on the answers? Why or why not?

12. The owner was very upset when the next delivery of their slushie mixes arrived. The truck didn't deliver equal amounts of the different color varieties! The delivery company gave them the following number of bottles of each color flavoring: 1 purple, 2 yellow, 3 green, 4 red, and 5 orange. How could they make sure they would use up the colors they had in stock without running out? A student worker in the store came up with a unique solution. The colored slices on the spinner were changed to represent the stock. To see how this idea worked out, you will need to change the spinner properties.

13. Click the button on the spinner to "Change spinner."



== 14. Change the numbers next to the different colors so that the chance of getting a discount on the flavors that are overstocked will be larger. Use the small arrow next to each color choice to change the numbers to the following: ==

==15. Click on the Apply button so that the spinner color slices are changed. Take a screenshot of your new spinner for your report. ==

16. Now before you repeat your research, your challenge is to make a prediction. Looking at your new spinner, which color will have the highest probability of hits, and which one the lowest out of 20 spins? Write your prediction into your document. Now keep track and spin the spinner 20 spins. Enter your results into your spreadsheet. How did you do? If you spin it more times, will it be closer to your prediction? Do this two more times, remembering to record your data and to CLEAR the results when done. Total your 3 sets of results like you did earlier. Did your prediction come true? Compare your results with other teams to see if their predictions were accurate. Jot these results into your Spinner Report.

17. Answer the following questions by adding them to the report document. When you changed the spinner why did this change the results? Was this a good solution to the problem? Why or why not? How does your data collected support your answer? Check with two other groups in the class to see if they agree or disagree with your findings?
