Back

1/11

Front

What is the theoretical probability of drawing a tile for P(S) from the same bag of tiles?

4/11

Front

What is the formula for calculating probability?

Back

P(event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

Front

What is the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on mathematical reasoning, while experimental probability is based on actual experiments.

Front

What is a frequency table?

Back

A frequency table is a table that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample.

Front

What does a probability distribution represent?

Back

A probability distribution represents the probabilities of all possible outcomes of a random variable.

Front

What is the complement of an event?

Back

The complement of an event is the probability that the event does not occur.
