Simon wants to earn as many points as possible in one turn in a game. Two number cubes whose sides are numbered 1 through 6 are rolled. He is given two options for the manner in which points are awarded in the turn. OPTION A: If the sum of the rolls is a prime number, Simon receives 15 points.
OPTION B: If the sum of the rolls is a multiple of 3, Simon receives 12 points.

Which statement best explains the option he should choose?

A. Simon should choose Option B. The mathematical expectation of this option is 6.25 and is the greater mathematical expectation of the two options.

B. Simon should choose Option A. The mathematical expectation of this option is 6.25 and is the greater mathematical expectation of the two options.

C. Simon should choose Option B. The mathematical expectation of this option is 4 and is the greater mathematical expectation of the two options.

D. Simon should choose Option A. The mathematical expectation of this option is 4 and is the greater mathematical expectation of the two options.

Kevin has a spinner that has 10 equal sections and 2 sections of each color—red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. kevin spins the spinner 180 times. kevin determines about how many times the spinner will land on red or green, and his work is shown below. -kevin has the formula reversed; it should be the total number of sections over the number of red or green sections. -kevin should have used a 4 in the numerator because there are 2 red sections and 2 green sections. -kevin should multiply by the number of sections in the spinner rather than the total number of spins. -kevin calculated the prediction correctly and did not make any mistakes.
