24 Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

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

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.

If a coin is flipped and lands on heads 8 times and tails 12 times, what is the experimental probability of landing on tails?

Front

What does it mean if the experimental probability of an event is different from the theoretical probability?

Back

It may indicate that the experiment was not conducted under ideal conditions or that the sample size was too small.
