Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on all possible outcomes, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Experimental probability is the likelihood of an event happening based on actual experiments or trials, calculated using the formula: P(Event) = Number of times the event occurs / Total number of trials.

To calculate the probability of NOT landing on a specific outcome, subtract the probability of landing on that outcome from 1: P(NOT Event) = 1 - P(Event).

The experimental probability of landing on 6 is 3 out of 24, which simplifies to 1 out of 8.

The probability of picking a quarter is 5/11.

The theoretical probability of pulling out a pencil is 5/12.

The probability of selecting a brown candy is 1/10.

The total number of outcomes when rolling a number cube is 6, as it has six faces numbered 1 to 6.

The theoretical probability of NOT landing on yellow is 7/8.

The formula for calculating probability is P(Event) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.
