Probability
What are the chances that some event will occur.
Probability (Event) Favorable Outcomes
Total Outcomes
Example Rolling an Even Number on a Number Cube
3
Experimental Probability
What does happen when you do the experiment.
Number Favorable Outcomes Total
Experiments
(If you toss the coin 100 times, you might get 60
heads and 40 tails.)
Flipping a Coin (Results H, T, H, T, H)
Rolling a Die (Result 1,3,4,5,5,5,5,6)
4
Theoretical Probability
What should happen if the experiment is done
over and over again.
Favorable Outcomes Total Outcomes
Tossing a coin.
(Should be 50 Heads and 50 Tails)
