2 Probability is a number from 0 to 1 that tells you how likely something is to happen.
Probability types - experimental probability - theoretical probability

3 Experimental vs. Theoretical
Experimental probability: when you do the experiment. P(event) = number of times event occurs total number of trials Theoretical probability: what should happen in an ideal situation. P(E) = number of favorable outcome total number of possible outcomes

4 How can you tell which is experimental and which is theoretical probability?

5 Identifying the Type of Probability

6 Identifying the Type of Probability

7 Contrast experimental and theoretical probability
Experimental probability is the result of an experiment. Theoretical probability is what is expected to happen.
