Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the mathematical calculation of the likelihood that an event will occur based on the possible outcomes in theory.

If a number cube is rolled 300 times, how many times can we expect to roll a number less than 4?

Back

150 times.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling a King from a standard deck of cards?

Back

1/8.

Front

What is an experimental probability?

Back

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

What does a bar graph represent in the context of rolling a number cube?

Back

It shows the results of rolling a number cube a certain number of times, such as 50 times.

Front

What is the complement of an event?

Back

The complement of an event is the set of outcomes in a sample space that are not included in the event.

Front

Define 'outcome' in probability.

Back

An outcome is a possible result of a probability experiment.

Front

What is the difference between dependent and independent events?

Back

Dependent events are events where the outcome of one affects the outcome of another, while independent events do not affect each other.

Front

How do you calculate the theoretical probability of an event?

Back

Theoretical probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What is an example of an experimental probability scenario?

Back

Rolling a number cube 50 times and recording the results to determine the probability of rolling a 3.
