What is the formula for calculating experimental probability?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual results from an experiment.
