Experimental Probability

What is Experimental Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is the probability determined by performing an experiment and observing the outcomes. It reflects what actually happens.

Front

How do you calculate Experimental Probability?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between Experimental Probability and Theoretical Probability?

Back

Experimental Probability is based on actual experiments, while Theoretical Probability is based on expected outcomes without conducting experiments.

If Jason rolls a die 14 times and rolls a 1 or 6 three times, what is the Experimental Probability of rolling a 1 or 6?

Back

3/14

Front

What does it mean if the Experimental Probability of an event is close to the Theoretical Probability?

Back

It means that the outcomes of the experiment are aligning with what is expected based on theoretical calculations.

What is the Experimental Probability of rolling a '5' if Jill rolled a '5' fifteen times out of 20 rolls?

Back

3/4

Front

Which of the following describes Experimental Probability? a. Perform an experiment to determine the probability b. Use trials to count the number of desired outcomes

Back

a. Perform an experiment to determine the probability

Front

What is Theoretical Probability?

Back

Theoretical Probability is the probability calculated based on the possible outcomes of an event, assuming all outcomes are equally likely.

If a coin is flipped 100 times and lands on heads 45 times, what is the Experimental Probability of getting heads?

Back

45/100 or 9/20

Front

What is an example of an event with a Theoretical Probability of 1/2?

Back

Flipping a fair coin, where there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails.
