Lesson 1:Theoretical Vs. Experimental Probabilities


Theoretical probabilities: probability obtained by analyzing a situation.
Example: The probability of getting 6 in normal dice is 1/6
Binomial probability: the probabilities of getting one out of two outcomes like that of tossing a coin.

Experimental probability: probability calculated from the results of an experiment.
Example: If you throw the number cube 12 times and your results are 1-3-2-1-1-1-4-2-1-3- 2-5 the experimental probability of getting a 1 is 5/12
Law of large numbers: states that are more times you do an experiment as closer the theoretical and experimental probabilities are.

    I liked the information, it explained the differences between theoretical and experimental probabilities and the examples helped the explanations.
