Learning Objective
I can determine the experimental probabilities of compound events using simulations and repeated experiments.
- 1
Experimental probability is found by calculating the relative frequency of an event based on actual experimental outcomes.
- 2
To find the experimental probability, divide the number of times an outcome occurs by the total number of trials.
- 3
The expected frequency can be predicted by multiplying the experimental probability by a new number of trials.
