FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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 observations.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is calculated using the formula: \( P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of trials}} \)

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a compound event in probability?

Back

A compound event is an event that consists of two or more simple events. For example, rolling a die and flipping a coin.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between experimental probability and theoretical probability?

Back

Experimental probability is based on actual experiments and observations, while theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes in a perfect world.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a food trailer serves 60 orders, and 10 of them are for 3-pieces with cole slaw, what is the experimental probability of that order?

Back

The experimental probability is \( P = \frac{10}{60} = \frac{1}{6} \)
