In order to answer this question it is important, first, to be certain that the theoretical probability (not probality!) can be calculated. For example, there is a probability that the first car that I see being driven on the next day [tomorrow] is black but I challenge anyone to calculate the theoretical probability. No one, not even I, know when I will wake up tomorrow (assuming that I live to wake up), when I draw my curtains and when look into the street. The number of black cars and non-black cars in my locality can be found, but it could be a car from somewhere else which just happens to drive past at the critical moment.


Assuming there was a theoretical probability, the experimental probability would be better than would be obtained from 999 trials and not as good as 1001 trials. Any other statements would depend on the distribution of the variable being observed.

Compare experimental and theoretical probability?

Experimental probability is obtained by repeatedly carrying out an experiment. It is the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes and the total number of experiments. Theoretical probability is calculated from a model of the experiment using the laws of physics or nature (or whatever).


How does the experimental mole ratio compare with the theoretical mole ratio?

The experimental mole ratio is obtained from actual experimental data, while the theoretical mole ratio is calculated based on the balanced chemical equation. Comparing the two can reveal discrepancies and provide insight into the accuracy of the experimental results or any potential sources of error in the experiment.


can you Compare the experimental value obtained for the specific heat capacity with the theoretical value?

Yes.


What in an experiment is the standard used to compare with the outcome?

In an experiment, the standard used to compare with the outcome is called the control group. The control group is a group that is not exposed to the experimental treatment and is used as a baseline for comparison to determine the effects of the treatment on the experimental group.

What is the definition of the experimental group?

The experimental group is use to compare with the control group, and viceversa. The experimental group is the group that we change the variable to experiment it's effects, as twcontrol group is the'original' experiment's results. Such a when we want to know the effect of changing a variable.


When a variable is kept unchanged in an experiment it is said to be?

It is called the control variable. It is used to compare to your experimental results.


How does an experimental conclusion compare to a theory or hypothesis?

A hypothesis is an educated guess and a theory is close to what a hypothesis is. A theory is the scientific process that is thought to be true. An experimental conclusion is the results to an experiment.


Percent error of O in MgO?

To calculate the percent error of oxygen in magnesium oxide (MgO), you would compare the experimental value of oxygen in MgO to the theoretical value. The experimental value can be determined by chemical analysis, while the theoretical value can be calculated using the molecular formula of MgO. The percent error is calculated using the formula: (|Theoretical value - Experimental value| / Theoretical value) x 100%.


In a scientific experiment a control is the part of the experiment that?

In a scientific experiment, a control is the part of the experiment that remains constant and is used as a baseline to compare against the experimental group. It helps researchers determine the effect of the variable being tested in the experiment.


What does experimental value mean in chemistry?

This is the value found from actually performing some experiment, rather than the theoretical value, which is found from reference material. This could be something like 'determine the density of water'.You can look up in a reference table the density of water at a given temperature - this is the theoretical value.Now you perform the experiment. You measure the temperature, then you get a graduated cylinder and measure the mass of the empty cylinder. Now fill the cylinder with a specific amount of distilled water. Measure the mass of the filled cylinder. Subtract empty mass to get the mass of the water. Now density equals mass/volume, so divide.This value obtained from the experiment is the experimental value.
