Check all the options that describe Experimental Probability

• Experiment

• What happens when you actually do it

• You will be given data

Raymond has different fruit cups in his refrigerator. 4 cups of peach fruit, 4 cups of pineapple fruit, 2 cups of pear fruit, and 2 cups of mandarin fruit. Raymond will randomly choose 1 fruit cup. What is the probability that he will choose a pear or pineapple fruit cup?

• Theoretical

• Experimental

Theoretical probability is the same as finding the probability of a simple event

• True

• False
