Probability

Today in math class we learnt about probablity. We learnt about theoretical probability & experimental probability.


Probability can be expressed by using:

-a probability tree

-dice and coin toss

-ratio tables


Theoretical Probability

What math says should happen.

TP= favorable outcome
total possible outcomes.


Outcome

=Heads, Tails

=1,2,3,4,5,6


Experimental Probabilty

EP= favorable outcomes

number of experiments


***The more you experiment the closer you get to the theoretical probabilty***


Probability Trees

-coin ---> Head, Tail 2
-6 sided cube ---> 1,2,3,4,5,6 x6
12
