Experimental Probability is what actually happens.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is what should happen based on the possible outcomes.

What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 or 6 on a fair six-sided die?

Back

2/6

Front

Why might a scientist think a die is biased after rolling it 10 times and getting a 6 four times?

Back

There were not enough trials to expect the theoretical probability to match the experimental probability.
