Experimental and Theoretical Probability

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the probability of an event based on the results of an experiment or repeated trials.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the expected probability of an event occurring based on the possible outcomes, without conducting an experiment.

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back
