Answer the following questions:

  1. Compare the observed relative frequencies to the theoretical probabilities. In a few sentences describe what you see. (Things to discuss: are the observed values close to the theoretical ones or not – where are they close and where not – do they follow a similar pattern – did you expect a better fit or a worse fit or this about what you expected to see? Is there anything else important that you see?)
