Exploring Experimental and Theoretical Probability

What are the two main types of probability discussed?

• Independent and dependent probability

• Mutually exclusive and non-exclusive probability

• Subjective and objective probability

• Theoretical and experimental probability

How is theoretical probability calculated?

• Based on past events

• Through experimentation

• Knowing all possible outcomes

• Predicting future events

What analogy is used to explain theoretical probability?

• Flipping a coin

• Rolling a die

• Drawing marbles from a bag

• Predicting the weather

What is a real-life example of experimental probability?

• Weather forecasting

• Rolling a die

• Choosing a card from a deck

• Spinning a roulette wheel

Why does experimental probability need to be flexible?

• Because it's based on theoretical models

• Due to its reliance on past events

• Because it never changes

• It doesn't need to be flexible

What does the probability of drawing a pink marble from a bag illustrate?

• None of the above

• Subjective probability

• Theoretical probability

• Experimental probability

Which type of probability is generally preferred?

• Experimental probability

• Theoretical probability

• Neither is preferred

• Both are equally preferred

Why is theoretical probability considered better?

• It is easier to calculate

• It is based on past events

• It knows all possible outcomes

• It changes with new data

How can experimental probability be improved?

• By ignoring unusual results

• By changing the theoretical model

• Experimental probability cannot be improved

• Through collecting more data

What happens to experimental probability as more data is collected?

• It converges towards theoretical probability

• It remains unchanged

• It becomes less reliable

• It diverges from theoretical probability
