Theoretical probability VS Experimental Probability

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the probability determined by conducting experiments and observing the outcomes.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the probability based on the possible outcomes of an event without conducting any experiments.

How is Experimental Probability calculated?

Back

Experimental Probability is calculated by dividing the number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials.
