1. How do you find the experimental probability that a particular result will occur? Why is it called the experimental probability?
To find the experimental probability you have to have a series of trials (the more the better.) From looking at the data you collected, from conducting experiments, you can find a probability. It is called an experimental probability because it is a probability you find from conducting experiments.
2. In an experiment, are 30 trials as good as 500 trials to predict the chances of a result? Explain.
No. The reason for this is that you have more data to look at from an experiment with 500 trials, as opposed to 30 trials.
3. What does it mean for results to be equally likely?
It means that each of the outcomes have the same chance. For example, if there is a red, blue, and yellow block in a bag, P(red), P(blue), and P(yellow) should all equal 1/3. This would give each a 1 in 3 chance of being pulled from the bag.
