24 Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Front

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is what DID happen during the experiment.

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is what SHOULD happen in an experiment.

Front

How do you calculate Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability = (Number of times an event occurs) / (Total number of trials).

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.
