Answer 3

hmm are you sure?

let's say we're trying to find the experimental probability of flipping a coin

and you flip it 10 times
and you get heads is 4 times

so what is the probability of getting heads?

Answer 4

like maybe 1/4

Answer 5

wait is it A?

Answer 6

well it would be 4/10 based on my example

but you're correct

you want the number of times the event occurs over TOTAL times the acitivity is performed

Answer 7

Oh ok

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
