Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Spinner Probability Write your answer as a simplified fraction (ex: 1 It MUST be in simplest form, or it will be marked as incorrect! (ex: 3 MUST be simplified to 1 If the fraction may be simplified to a whole number (ex: 0 or 1), enter your answer as a whole number. 1 1 1 5 1 1 1 2 Experimental Probability You have three sticks. Each stick has one red side and one blue side. You throw the sticks 10 times and record the results. Use the table to find the experimental probability of the event. Tossing 3 red 2 Tossing 2 blue, 1 red 1 Not tossing red at all 0 Tossing a mixture of some blue AND some red 3 You roll a die 18 times with the following outcomes. Match the situation with its experimental probability. Outcomes: 2, 3, 2, 4, 6, 5, 1, 6, 3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4 Rolling a 6 1 Rolling a 2 2 Rolling an even number 5 Rolling an odd number 4 Rolling a 3 or 5 1 Rolling a number less than 5 7 The likelihood that an event should happen in ideal circumstances is called the theoretical probabilityThe possible result of an experiment is a(n) outcome.Relative frequency, or experimental probability, is based on what actually occurs during an experiment.Theoretical probability does not change.The probability of rolling a 3 on a number cube is 1 probability does change.The number of times a desired outcome happens is called a favorable outcome You roll a regular die (numbered 1-6) 18 times. Match the situation with its theoretical probability. Rolling a 2 1 Rolling an even number 1 Rolling a number greater than 6 0 Rolling a 3 or 5 1 Rolling a number less than 5 2
