Exploring Probability Through Experiments

Front

What is probability?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

The probability of an event is calculated using the formula: Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes).

Front

What is a sample space in probability?

Back

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

Front

What is an experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the probability determined by conducting an experiment and observing the outcomes, calculated as: Experimental Probability = (Number of times the event occurs) / (Total number of trials).

What is the probability of rolling a 2 if a die is rolled 80 times and lands on 2 a total of 20 times?

Back

The experimental probability of rolling a 2 is 0.25.

What does it mean if an event has a probability of 0?

Back

An event with a probability of 0 means that the event is impossible and cannot occur.
