theoretical and experimental probability

Front

What is the complement of an event?

Back

The complement of an event is the probability that the event does not occur.

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is what actually happens in an experiment, calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of trials.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

How do you calculate the complement of an event?

Back

To calculate the complement of an event, subtract the probability of the event from 1.
