Experimental/ Theoretical Probability

Today, we started our class by doing a group problem. We were ask to experiment, play and take risks for the problem. The problem was entitled "A Great Way to Make Money". It was similar to the activity that the class did yesterday. After, we went over it in class and figured it out together.(everything we did should be in the slide)

We didnt learn anything new today, we just pretty much reviewed everything that we learned yesterday.

***Things that we need to always remember to be able to solve the probabilities.
1. Experimental probability --> is the chance of an event happening as determined by calculating the mathematical result.


........................number of times an event occurs
probability = ___________________________

........................total number of trials


2. Theoretical probability --> is the chance of an event happening based in repeated testing or observation

.......................number of ways the event can occur
probability = ____________________________

.......................total number of equally likely outcomes


The class finished off by solving the homework from yesterday (everything should be in the slide too) .

REMEMBER TO KEEP REVIEWING BECAUSE WE WILL BE HAVING A QUIZ SOMETIME THIS WEEK!

that'd be all everyone! :)

The next scribe is DAVID.
