What is probability?

Back

Probability is a measure of how likely an event is to occur, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the probability determined by conducting an experiment and observing the outcomes.

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the probability calculated based on the possible outcomes in a perfect scenario.

Front

How do you calculate experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability = (Number of successful outcomes) / (Total number of trials).

Front

How do you calculate theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes).

Front

What is a sample space?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

What is an event in probability?

Back

An event is a specific outcome or a set of outcomes from a probability experiment.

Front

What does it mean to flip a coin to simulate probability?

Back

Flipping a coin simulates a 50/50 chance, representing two possible outcomes.

Front

What is the probability of rolling a 6 on a 6-sided die?

Back

The probability is 1/6, since there is one favorable outcome (rolling a 6) out of six possible outcomes.

If a spinner has 8 equal sections, what is the probability of landing on an odd number?

Back

The probability is 1/2 if there are 4 odd numbers out of 8 sections.
