Theoretical and Experimental Probability #1

What type of probability is a way of estimating the probability of an event happening based on repeated trials, a survey, or an experiment?

• Experimental Probabillity

• Theoretical Probability

What type of probability is used to find the probability of an event when all outcomes are equally as likely. "What COULD happen" or "What you EXPECT to happen"?
