5. Vocabulary experimental probability Insert Lesson Title Here Course 3 10-2 Experimental Probability number of times the event occurs probability  HINT: Write this down in your notes! total number of trials

6. Course 3 10-2 Experimental Probability In experimental probability : an event is estimated by repeating an experiment many times. 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.
