What is Empirical Probability?

Back

Empirical Probability is the probability based on observed data or experiments. For example, if Steph Curry has made 91 out of 100 free throws, the empirical probability of him making the next free throw is 0.91.

What is Classical Probability?

Back

Classical Probability is the probability calculated based on the assumption of equally likely outcomes. For example, the probability of rolling a 3 on a fair six-sided die is 1/6.

What is Subjective Probability?

Back

Subjective Probability is the probability based on personal judgment, intuition, or experience rather than on exact calculations or data. For example, a football coach deciding to punt based on a 'gut feeling'.

What is the probability of drawing a face card or a 5 from a standard deck of cards?

Back

The probability is 0.31, as there are 12 face cards and 4 fives in a deck of 52 cards.

Back

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

What is an event in probability?

Back

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

What is the difference between independent and dependent events?

Back

Independent events are events where the outcome of one does not affect the other, while dependent events are events where the outcome of one affects the outcome of the other.

What is the Law of Large Numbers?

Back

The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of trials increases, the empirical probability will get closer to the theoretical probability.
