Question

Which of the following is an example of theoretical probability?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Kelli put 6 red marbles and 5 blue marbles in a bag. The probability of selecting a red marble is 6 /11

Explanation:

Theoretical probability occurs as you calculate the probability of a specific outcome in a situation, without experimenting or observing it. Because of this, the probability is theoretical rather than experimental. Also, you can know this, if you divide the number of specific favorable outcomes by the total of possible outcomes.

Option C shows a theoretical probability because this is the only case the probability has not been observed or experimented. Also, expressing the probability as 6/11 is completely correct because 6 is the total of red marbles(possible desired outcomes), while 11 is the total marbles (possible outcomes).
