Theoretical & Experimental Probability Practice

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on all possible outcomes, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on actual experiments or trials, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of times the event occurs / Total number of trials.

How do you calculate the experimental probability of an event?

Back

To calculate the experimental probability, divide the number of times the event occurs by the total number of trials.
