Question

What is "theoretical probability"? What is "experimental probability"? What's the difference?​

Answer 1

Theoretical probably is what you would expect to happen.

Example, flipping a coin has a 50% chance of landing on heads, so if you flipped a coin 100 times, theoretically the coin would land on heads 50 times ( 50%).

Experimental probablity is what actually happens. Using the coin example, flipping the coin 100 times, it could actually land on heads 100 times or any number of times from 0 to 100.

Answer 2

Hello There! Theoretical probability deals with events happening in theory. It is what is expected t happen.

Experimental probability is a little different. This is based on the number of repeated trials during an experiment.

The difference is Theoretical probability is what you expect to happen

Experimental probability is what actually ends up happening.
