Experimental Probability (OK7)

Theoretical Probability is ______

• probability based on data from an experiment

• probability based on reasoning apart from any experimenting

• always the same as experimental probability

• the total number of possible outcomes

Which of these is the same as RELATIVE FREQUENCY?

• Experimental Probability

• Theoretical Probability

• Relative Probability

• all of the above

Experimental probability is the most reliable and useful for making predictions when the number of trials is ______

• small

• large

• exactly 100

• equal to the total number of possible outcomes

• 495/500 (99%)

• 5/500 (1%)

• 95%

• 5%
