Experimental Probability Example
Example: Suppose you roll a six-sided die 100 times, and you observe that the number 4 comes up 18 times.
Solution:
Experimental probability of rolling a 4 is:
Number of Times Event Occurs (rolling a 4): 18
Total Number of Trials (total rolls): 100
Experimental Probability = (Number of Times Eevent Occurs) / (Total Number of Trials)
= 18 / 100 = 0.18
So, the experimental probability of rolling a 4 on a six-sided die in this experiment is 0.18.
Theoretical Probability
Theoretical Probability calculates the likelihood of an event based on known outcomes, assuming equal likelihood. It’s fundamental in predicting probabilities without relying on experimental data.
In this article, we will learn about, theoretical probability, and experimental probability, their differences, examples, applications, and others in detail.
