FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the possible outcomes in a perfect scenario, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate the Theoretical Probability of an event?

Back

To calculate the Theoretical Probability of an event, use the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Theoretical Probability of landing on red if a spinner has 3 red sections and 6 total sections?

Back

The Theoretical Probability of landing on red is 3/6 or 50%.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Theoretical Probability of NOT landing on red if a spinner has 3 red sections and 6 total sections?

Back

The Theoretical Probability of NOT landing on red is 1 - P(landing on red) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 or 50%.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the Theoretical Probability of NOT landing on yellow if a spinner has 1 yellow section and 8 total sections?

Back

The Theoretical Probability of NOT landing on yellow is 1 - P(landing on yellow) = 1 - (1/8) = 7/8 or 87.5%.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the results of an actual experiment or trial.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of times the event occurs / Total number of trials.
