Theoretical Probability, Experimental Probability, Predictions

Front

What is a sample space?

Back

A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment.

Front

What is the probability of pulling out a red skittle OR an orange skittle from a bag with 36 skittles (12 red, 5 orange)?

Back

The probability is 17/36.

Front

What is the probability of not landing on red if the probability of landing on red is 33.3%?

Back

The probability of not landing on red is 66.7%.

Front

What type of probability is determined by flipping a coin 20 times and recording the results?

Back

This is experimental probability.

Front

If a person is randomly picked from a restaurant, which meal is four times as likely to be chosen: chili or vegetarian delight?

Back

Chili is four times as likely to be chosen as vegetarian delight.

Front

What is theoretical probability?

Back

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on all possible outcomes.

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event occurring based on actual experiments or trials.

Front

How do you calculate the probability of an event?

Back

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes).

Front

If there are 10 outcomes and 3 are favorable, what is the probability of the favorable outcome?

Back

The probability is 3/10.

Front

What does it mean if an event is 'less likely'?

Back

It means the probability of that event occurring is lower compared to other events.
