Theoretical probability VS Experimental Probability

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on all possible outcomes in a perfect scenario, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on the results of an actual experiment or trial, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of times the event occurs / Total number of trials.

Front

How do you calculate the theoretical probability of an event?

Back

The theoretical probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

What is the theoretical probability of landing on green or red in a spinner with 5 equal sections, 2 of which are green and red?

Back

The theoretical probability is 2/5.

Front

What is the formula for calculating experimental probability?

Back

The formula for calculating experimental probability is: P(Event) = Number of times the event occurs / Total number of trials.

In a bag with 4 green, 3 red, 2 blue, and 1 yellow marble, what is the theoretical probability of pulling a red marble?

Back

The theoretical probability of pulling a red marble is 3/10.

Front

If a die is rolled 5 times and the results are 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, what is the experimental probability of rolling a 1?

Back

The experimental probability of rolling a 1 is 1/5.

Front

What is the theoretical probability of selecting a red jelly bean from a bag containing 5 green, 2 red, and 3 blue jelly beans?

Back

The theoretical probability of selecting a red jelly bean is 1/5.

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 outcomes from experiments.

Front

How can you improve the accuracy of experimental probability?

Back

You can improve the accuracy of experimental probability by increasing the number of trials or experiments conducted.
