Fill in the blank: __________________ probability is defined as "what math says should happen".

Back

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on mathematical reasoning.

What is the theoretical probability of landing on a specific number in a fair spinner with 8 equal sections?

Back

Front

Jessie spun the spinner 15 times and landed on the light pink section, "Q," 4 times. What is the experimental probability of landing on "Q"?

Front

This type of compound probability is where the first event affects the second event. What is it called?

Back

Dependent probability is when the outcome of one event affects the outcome of another.

Front

The probability of compound events is found by finding the _______________ of the two events.

Back

The probability of compound events is found by finding the Product of the two events.

What is the formula for calculating theoretical probability?

Back

Front

If a spinner has 4 equal sections numbered 1 to 4, what is the theoretical probability of landing on an even number?

Front

What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes, while experimental probability is based on actual results from experiments.

Front

If two events are independent, how do you find the probability of both occurring?

Front

What is an example of a dependent probability scenario?

Back

Drawing cards from a deck without replacement is a dependent probability scenario because the outcome of the first draw affects the second.
