Write 1 word that relates to Probability
Introduction to Probability
Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring. It ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain).
What is Experimental Probability?
Experimental probability is determined by conducting experiments and recording the outcomes. It’s the ratio of successful trials to the total trials.
What is Theoretical Probability?
Theoretical probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
