What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the results of an experiment or trial, calculated as the number of times the event occurs divided by the total number of trials.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back

What is the probability that the next fish Rylee catches will be a catfish?

Back

Probability = (Number of catfish) / (Total number of fish) = 10 / 27 ≈ 0.37 or 37%.

What is the experimental probability that the next car will not be white?

Back

Probability = (Number of non-white cars) / (Total number of cars) = (10 + 8) / 60 = 18 / 60 = 0.3.
