What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

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

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on actual experiments or trials. It is calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of times the event occurs / Total number of trials.
