Experimental Probability with Compound Events

The ratio of the number of times an event occurred compared to the total number of trials conducted is known as - 

• theoretical probability

• experimental probability

• simple probability

• compound probability

Which of the following expressions can be used to calculate the probability of two related events occurring?

• P(event) x 2

• P(event 1) +   P(event 2)

• P(event 1) x     P(event 2)

• P(event 1 + 2)

When collected data is used to express probability, we call it - 

• theoretical probability

• experimental probability

• simple probability

• compound probability
