If Russel pick another number, what is the experimental probability that it is not 1 and 10?

A coin is tossed 58 times. If tail turns 30 times, what is the experimental probability of head turning?

A basketball team played 65 games. If they won 35 games, what is the experimental probability that they will win in the next game?

Six red balls, 10 blue balls, 18 green balls, and 25 yellow balls were placed in a box. Tina pick a ball and put it back in the box after. She recorded the number of times each colored ball was picked after several tries.

What is the experimental probability that the next ball picked is yellow?

Six red balls, 10 blue balls, 18 green balls, and 25 yellow balls were placed in a box. Tina pick a ball and put it back in the box after. She recorded the number of times each colored ball was picked after several tries.

What is the theoretical probability that the next ball picked is red?

Six red balls, 10 blue balls, 18 green balls, and 25 yellow balls were placed in a box. Tina pick a ball and put it back in the box after. She recorded the number of times each colored ball was picked after several tries.

How will you compare the experimental and theoretical probability that the next ball picked is red?

• Theoretical probability is greater than experimental probability.

• Experimental probability is lesser than theoretical probability.

• Theoretical probability is equal to experimental probability.

• Experimental probability is greater than theoretical probability.
