Theoretical probability VS Experimental Probability

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the probability determined by conducting experiments and observing the outcomes.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the probability based on the possible outcomes of an event without conducting any experiments.

Front

How is Experimental Probability calculated?

Back

Experimental Probability is calculated by dividing the number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials.

Front

How is Theoretical Probability calculated?

Back

Theoretical Probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

Front

What does frequency mean in probability?

Back

Frequency means the number of times an outcome appears in a set of trials.

Front

If a die is rolled 6 times and a 2 appears 3 times, what is the Experimental Probability of rolling a 2?

Back

The Experimental Probability of rolling a 2 is 3/6 or 1/2.

Front

What is the Theoretical Probability of rolling a 1 on a fair die?

Back

The Theoretical Probability of rolling a 1 on a fair die is 1/6.

Front

If a die is rolled 14 times and a 1 or 6 appears 6 times, what is the Experimental Probability of rolling a 1 or 6?

Back

The Experimental Probability of rolling a 1 or 6 is 6/14.

Front

What is the Theoretical Probability of rolling a 1 or 6 on a fair die?

Back

The Theoretical Probability of rolling a 1 or 6 on a fair die is 2/6 or 1/3.

Front

What is the difference between Experimental and Theoretical Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is based on actual experiments, while Theoretical Probability is based on expected outcomes.
