Back

Probability is a measure of the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the probability of an event calculated based on the possible outcomes in a perfect scenario.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the probability of an event determined by conducting experiments and observing the outcomes.

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back

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

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
