Exploring Experimental Probability

What is experimental probability?

• Experimental probability is calculated by dividing total trials by successful outcomes.

• Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of successful outcomes to the total number of trials.

• Experimental probability only considers the most recent trial.

• Experimental probability is the same as theoretical probability.

If you flip a coin 10 times and get 7 heads, what is the experimental probability of getting heads?

• 0.7

• 1.0

• 0.5

• 0.3

You roll a die 30 times and get a 5 five times. What is the experimental probability of rolling a 5?

• 1/5

• 1/4

• 1/6

• 1/3

If you draw a card from a deck of 52 cards 20 times and get 4 hearts, what is the experimental probability of drawing a heart?

• 0.3

• 0.1

• 0.2

• 0.4

What is the difference between experimental probability and theoretical probability?

• Experimental probability is always more accurate than theoretical probability.

• Theoretical probability is based on actual experiments, while experimental probability is just a guess.

• Experimental probability can only be calculated in a lab setting, while theoretical probability can be done anywhere.

• Experimental probability is derived from real-world trials, while theoretical probability is based on expected outcomes.

If you toss a spinner that lands on red, blue, or green 50 times and it lands on red 20 times, what is the experimental probability of landing on red?

• 0.2

• 0.5

• 0.3

• 0.4

How can you increase the accuracy of experimental probability?

• Increase the number of trials.

• Decrease the number of trials.

• Use a biased sample.

• Ignore outliers in the data.

If you conduct an experiment 100 times and get a result 25 times, what is the experimental probability of that result?

• 0.75

• 0.25

• 0.50

• 0.15

Why is it important to conduct multiple trials in an experiment?

• Multiple trials are unnecessary and can waste time.

• It is important to conduct multiple trials to ensure reliability and accuracy of experimental results.

• Trials should only be conducted if the results are inconclusive.

• Conducting one trial is sufficient for accurate results.

If you flip a coin 100 times and get 45 tails, what is the experimental probability of getting tails?

• 0.45

• 0.40

• 0.50

• 0.55
