What is theoretical probability?

Back

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

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