Experimental Probability

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability = (Number of successful outcomes) / (Total number of trials).

If a jelly bean is selected 44 times and 12 of them are red, what is the experimental probability of selecting a red jelly bean?

Back

The experimental probability of selecting a red jelly bean is 12/44, which simplifies to 3/11.

What is the experimental probability of a spinner landing on green or red if it has 5 sections of green and 5 sections of red?

Back

The experimental probability is (5 + 5) / 10 = 10/10 = 1/2.

What does it mean if an experimental probability is close to 1?

Back

If an experimental probability is close to 1, it means the event is very likely to occur based on the experimental results.

Front

What does it mean if an experimental probability is close to 0?

Back

If an experimental probability is close to 0, it means the event is very unlikely to occur based on the experimental results.
