FLASHCARD QUESTION
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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the theoretical probability of landing on a specific number on a fair 6-sided die?
Back
The theoretical probability of landing on a specific number (e.g., 2) on a fair 6-sided die is 1/6, since there is one favorable outcome and six possible outcomes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a spinner has 4 equal sections, what is the theoretical probability of landing on any one section?
Back
The theoretical probability of landing on any one section of a spinner with 4 equal sections is 1/4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a spinner is spun 50 times and lands on a number 15 times, what is the experimental probability of landing on that number?
Back
The experimental probability is calculated as 15/50, which simplifies to 3/10 or 30%.
