Understanding Experimental Probability Concepts

This tutorial covers three methods of calculating probability: theoretical, experimental (also known as relative frequency or empirical method), and subjective. The focus is on experimental probability, which uses existing data to calculate the likelihood of an event. An example is provided using patient height data to demonstrate how to calculate probability using the relative frequency method. The tutorial concludes with a brief discussion on subjective probability, highlighting its reliance on personal judgment rather than statistical reasoning.
