Experimental vs. Theoretical Probability

One repetition of an experiment is known as:

• random variable

• expected value

• trial

• occurrence

The possible outcomes of an experiment is called:

• trial

• occurrence

• outcome

• event

An experiment that models an actual event is a:

• trial

• simulation

• test

• experiment

A bag contains 3 red blocks, 2 blue blocks and 6 yellow blocks. If you draw one single block, then n(S) is:

• 3

• 1

• 6

• 11

The collection of desired outcomes of an experiment is called the

• event space

• probability space

• outcome space

• sample space

The collection of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called:

• event space

• probability space

• outcome space

• sample space

An event occurs, on average, every 6 out of 17 times during a simulation. The experimental probability of this event is

• $\frac{11}{17}$

• $\frac{16}{23}$

• $\frac{17}{6}$

• $\frac{6}{17}$

Two friends play a game in which they draw a card from a standard deck (no jokers). If the card is a spade, the first friend gives the second friend $1.00. If the card is red, the second friend gives the first friend $1.00.

Is this a fair game?

• yes

• no

Two dice are rolled and the sum on the dice is calculated. What is n(S)?

• 2

• 6

• 36

• 12

Two dice are rolled and the sum on the dice is calculated.
What is the probability the sum is 4?

•  $\frac{3}{36}$  

• 3

•  $\frac{1}{12}$  

•  $\frac{1}{6}$
