Experimental Probability

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

The ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

What actually happens.

Front

What is the formula for Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability = \frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{Total number of trials}.

Front

If a spinner is spun 200 times and lands on a 3, how do you calculate the experimental probability of landing on a 3?

Back

Experimental Probability = \frac{Number of times landing on 3}{Total spins}.

Front

Jason rolls a die 14 times. What is the Experimental probability that he will roll a 1 or 6?

Back

The Experimental probability is \frac{3}{7}.

Front

What is relative frequency in probability?

Back

Relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials.

Front

If a coin is flipped 24 times and lands on heads 13 times, what is the relative frequency of landing on heads?

Back

The relative frequency is \frac{13}{24}.

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 outcomes from experiments.

Front

How can you increase the accuracy of experimental probability?

Back

By increasing the number of trials in the experiment.

Front

What is a favorable outcome in probability?

Back

A favorable outcome is an outcome that is considered successful for the event being measured.
