Experimental Probability
An experiment consists of pushing the random button on an playlist and seeing what artists come up. The following results occurred: Taylor Swift - 7, Bruno Mars - 4, Beyonce - 6, and Drake - 8. This is the experimental probability of the next artist being Bruno Mars.
What is 4/25?
This is the theoretical probability of rolling an even number on a die.
What is 1/2 or 50%?
Independent or Dependent events? Drawing a card and flipping a coin.
What is independent.
This is the sample space for the rolling an 8 sided die.
What is {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
An experiment consists of pushing the random button on an playlist and seeing what artists come up. The following results occurred: Taylor Swift - 7, Bruno Mars - 4, Beyonce - 6, and Drake - 8. This is the experimental probability of the next artist NOT being Taylor Swift.
What is 18/25?

Independent or Dependent events? Picking a contestant from a crowd and then picking another contestant from the same crowd.
What is dependent?

Mrs. Johnson is giving out stickers to her class. She has 4 zoo animal stickers and 6 scratch 'n sniff stickers. This is the probability that the first two kids both get scratch 'n sniff stickers.
What is 30/90 -> 1/3 or 33%?
Explain the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability.
Theoretical probability uses equally likely outcomes to predict what is going to happen and experimental probability bases probability on something that happened.
Mr. Smith checks the math homework that was turned in and finds that 3 papers out of 50 don't have names on them. If he checks 500 papers, this is how many he should have with out names on them based on experimental probability.
What is 30?
