Experimental Probability

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or experiments conducted.

Front

How do you calculate Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability = (Number of successful outcomes) / (Total number of trials)

If Jill rolled a '5' fifteen times out of 20 rolls, what is the experimental probability of rolling a '5'?

Back

3/4

What is the most likely outcome when selecting from a set of colored crayons?

Back

The color with the highest quantity is the most likely to be selected.

Front

In Brooke's crayon box, which color is most likely to be selected?

Back

Yellow, because there are 45 yellow crayons, the highest quantity.

Front

What is the expected number of heads when flipping a fair coin 40 times?

Back

20 heads, since the probability of heads is 1/2.

Front

What does it mean if an event is described as 'impossible'?

Back

An impossible event has a probability of 0; it cannot occur.

Front

What is the probability of picking 1 blue marble from a jar of 100 red marbles?

Back

Impossible, as there are no blue marbles.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on all possible outcomes.

Front

How do you calculate Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)
