Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on all possible outcomes, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes).

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on actual experiments or trials, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = (Number of times the event occurs) / (Total number of trials).

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual outcomes from experiments.
