Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or experiments conducted.

Front

How do you calculate experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability = (Number of successful outcomes) / (Total number of trials).

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes in a perfect scenario.

What is the relationship between experimental and theoretical probability?

Back

Experimental probability is based on actual experiments, while theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes. They may differ due to chance.
