what is expected/ predicted to happen in a probability question.
What is theoretical probability?

What is 1/6?
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.

What is 1/4 or 25% or 0.25?
What is 1/18?
5+6 = 11 & 6+5 = 11
2/36 = 1/18
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%
