. What is the theoretical probability of each colour on the map? P(yellow) 00 P(white) 00 P(brown) 00. What is the theoretical probability of choosing each zone in the grid? P(Zone ) 00 P(Zone ) 00 P(Zone ) 00 P(Zone ) 00. You only have time to search zones for the treasure. Which zones will you search? Explain why you chose each zone. Zone Which zones will let you cover the most ground? Zone 5. Do you have a good chance of finding the treasures in the zones you chose? Circle YES or NO. Give reason for your answer.
