Experimental vs. Theoretical Probability
100
The likelihood of an event occurring, expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
What is probability?
100
An event that will definitely happen.
What is a certain event?
100
Divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

100
Predicting the chance of rain.
What is an example of probability in real life?

Helps individuals and organizations weigh the potential outcomes of their choices.
How do we use probability to make decisions?
400
Random chance or a small sample size.
What might cause differences between experimental and theoretical probability?
500
An event that cannot happen, such as rolling a 7 on a standard six-sided die.
What is an impossible event?
500
The ________ is all the possible outcomes.
What is the sample space?
500
In games of chance where players have strategies that affect outcomes.
