Apply situations
1. Theoretical probability is based
on experiments.

2. A coin has an equal chance of


landing on heads or tails.

True or 3. Experimental probability always


False matches theoretical probability.

4. Rolling an even number on a die


has a 1/2 probability.

5. The sum of all probabilities in an


event is always 1.
• Probability is the chance
that a particular event will
occur.
• It is expressed as a fraction,
decimal, or percentage.
• Probability values range
from 0 (impossible) to 1
(certain).
• Theoretical
Probability - Based on
mathematical
calculations.
• Experimental
Probability - Based on
actual trials and
collected data.

how often each color appears.
Group #3: Draw a ball 20 times and record how
often each color appears.
Compare your experimental probability with the
theoretical probability.
