Question

Compare the theoretical probabilities to your experimental probabilities. Why might there be a difference?

Answer 1

there is actually no difference between them. How do I explain it?

Answer 2

Haha, no difference due to chance, or because your measurement isn't precise enough

Answer 3

but i did it right for sure....

Answer 4

But there MIGHT be a difference because experimental probability has randomness! While theoretical probability is a model

Answer 5

ok so i just explain it like you did above :/

Answer 6

ok do you know what Experimental probability is??

Answer 7

yeah..

Answer 8

what is it then??

Answer 9

experimental probability is the number of times an outcome occurs divided by the number of times the experiment is completed

Answer 10

what is Theoretically probability

Answer 11

theoretical*

Answer 12

theoretical probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes

Answer 13

ok but what does Theoretical probability mean?

Answer 14

i just said it

Answer 15

no but whats the difference between them

Answer 16

w8 hold on could you check this for me to see if i did it right then it would make better sense on what I am asking

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?

Two heads = 34 Total Trials = 100

Answer 19

for both of them i got 34/100 or, 0.34 = 34%

Answer 20

wait here @rebeccaxhawaii

Answer 21

she might be able to help you better

Answer 22

ok thx

Answer 23

whats your experiment

Answer 24

this is his What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?

Two heads = 34 Total Trials = 100 and he says he got 34/100 or, 0.34 = 34% for both of them
