Define "experimental probability."
The probability of what actually occurs based on an experiment.
How likely is it that a die is tossed and lands on any number 1-6?
Certain

1/216
A six-sided die is thrown 50 times. Using the list below, how does the theoretical probability of rolling a 3 compare to the experimental probability of rolling a 3? This is the list of the number rolled followed by the quantity 1:8, 2:6, 3:7, 4:12, 5:10, 6:7
The experimental probability is 7/50 =.84/6
The theoretical probability is 1/6
