Course Experimental Probability In experimental probability, the likelihood of an event is estimated by repeating an experiment many times and observing the number of times the event happens. That number is divided by the total number of trials. The more the experiment is repeated, the more accurate the estimate is likely to be. number of times the event occurs total number of trials probability 

A marble is randomly drawn out of a bag and then replaced. The table shows the results after fifty draws. Additional Example 1A: Estimating the Probability of an Event Course Experimental Probability The probability of drawing a red marble is about 0.3, or 30%. probability  number of red marbles drawn total number of marbles drawn = Estimate the probability of drawing a red marble.

A marble is randomly drawn out of a bag and then replaced. The table shows the results after fifty draws. Additional Example 1B: Estimating the Probability of an Event Course Experimental Probability The probability of drawing a green marble is about 0.24, or 24%. probability  number of green marbles drawn total number of marbles drawn = Estimate the probability of drawing a green marble.

A marble is randomly drawn out of a bag and then replaced. The table shows the results after fifty draws. Additional Example 1C: Estimating the Probability of an Event Course Experimental Probability The probability of drawing a yellow marble is about 0.46, or 46%. probability  number of yellow marbles drawn total number of marbles drawn = Estimate the probability of drawing a yellow marble.

A ticket is randomly drawn out of a bag and then replaced. The table shows the results after 100 draws. Check It Out: Example 1A Course Experimental Probability The probability of drawing a purple ticket is about 0.55, or 55%. probability  number of purple tickets drawn total number of tickets drawn = Estimate the probability of drawing a purple ticket.
