Theoretical & Experimental Probability

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on all possible outcomes, calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability = (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 as the number of times the event occurs divided by the total number of trials.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability = (Number of Times Event Occurs) / (Total Number of Trials)

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.
