Theoretical & Experimental 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 probability of an event calculated based on the possible outcomes, assuming all outcomes are equally likely.

How do you calculate the expected number of times an event will occur in a series of trials?

Back

Expected number = (Total trials) x (Theoretical Probability of the event).
