2/5 = x/10
what is expected/ predicted to happen in a probability question.
What is theoretical probability?

What word best describes the likelihood of landing on the number 10 based off the experimental probability found in the table below.
What is impossible?
*there are NO outcomes of the number 10
Joshua is conducting an experiment and calculating the experimental probability of flipping a coin and landing on heads. Which amount of times should Joshua flip the coin so that his experimental probability is closest to the theoretical?
A) 2 B) 10 C) 30 D) 300
What is D - 300
*Remember, you always want to do it the most times. The more times you conduct an experiment, the closer your probabilities will be.
Jaz makes 9 out of 12 free throws. What is the probability of her making the next free throw, written as a percentage?

What is 1/6?
The probability of winning a specific game is 0.82. Which word describes the likelihood of this event?
What is likely?
0.82 = 82% = 82/100
A coin is tossed 10 times and lands on heads twice. Compare the experimental and theoretical probability of landing on heads.
What is theoretical is greater than the experimental probability?
Theoretical: P(heads) = 1/2 = 0.5 = 50%
Experimental: P(heads) = 2/10 =1/5= 0.2 = 20%
