Theoretical probability VS Experimental Probability

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 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.

If a coin is flipped 100 times, how many times would you expect tails to appear?

Back

50 times.

Front

What is the theoretical probability of pulling a red marble from a bag containing 4 green, 3 red, 2 blue, and 1 yellow marble?

Back

3/10.

Front

How do you calculate experimental probability?

Back

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

Front

What does frequency mean in probability?

Back

Frequency means the number of times an outcome appears in a set of trials.

Front

If a die is rolled 14 times and a 1 or 6 appears 6 times, what is the experimental probability of rolling a 1 or 6?

Back

6/14.

Front

What is the total number of outcomes when rolling a standard die?

Back

6 outcomes.

Front

What is the formula for calculating theoretical probability?

Back

P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Front

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual results from trials.
