Experimental Probability Flashcard

Front

What is experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or experiments conducted.

Front

How do you calculate experimental probability?

Back

Experimental probability = (Number of successful outcomes) / (Total number of trials).

If Sarah hit the ball 3 times out of 8, what is her experimental probability of hitting the ball next?

Back

37.5%.

What is the experimental probability of drawing a blue or red marble if it is predicted to happen about 4,400 times in 5,000 trials?

Back

The experimental probability is approximately 88%.

What is the simplified fraction of Dylan's experimental probability if he made 15 out of 35 free throws?

Back

3/7.

If Jill rolled a '5' fifteen times out of 20 rolls, what is her experimental probability as a simplified fraction?

Back

3/4.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the probability of an event?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if an experimental probability is close to 1?

Back

It means the event is very likely to occur based on the experimental results.

Front

What does it mean if an experimental probability is close to 0?

Back

It means the event is very unlikely to occur based on the experimental results.

Front

How can you express experimental probability as a percentage?

Back

Multiply the experimental probability (as a fraction) by 100.
