Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is what actually happens during an experiment.

Front

If a spinner has 4 equal sections, how many times should you expect it to land on a specific number after spinning it 400 times?

Back

You should expect it to land on that number about 100 times.

Front

If you flip a coin 150 times, how many times could you expect it to land on tails?

Back

You could expect it to land on tails about 75 times.

Front

What is the probability of winning a game if the ratio is 1:12?

Back

The probability of winning is 1 out of 12.

Front

If Jada plays a game with a winning probability of 1:12, how many times could she expect to win if she plays 60 times?

Back

She could expect to win about 5 times.

Front

If a spinner is spun 300 times, how many times could you expect it to land on a number greater than 6 if the spinner has numbers 1 to 10?

Back

You could expect it to land on a number greater than 6 about 75 times.

Front

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual results from experiments.

Front

How do you calculate the expected number of outcomes in probability?

Back

Multiply the total number of trials by the probability of the event.

Front

What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes).

Front

If a die is rolled, what is the probability of rolling a 3?

Back

The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6.
