theoretical vs empirical probability statistics question?
a survey of 600 canadian generation z-ers - those born between 1997 and 2012 - was recently taken by abacus data. what were the results? 39% of the 600 gen z-ers indicated they would vote for the conservative party during the next federal election. you randomly pick one gen z-er from the 600, and determine if they will vote conservative in the next federal election. you compute the chance/probability that they will vote for the conservative party to be 0.39. what method of probability computation did you use? (the answer is theoretical probability but I do not understand because we used an experiment to get the number??? I would really appreciate someone explaining!!)
What else can I help you with?
What happens to experimental probability as the number of trials increases?
The probability from experimental outcomes will approach theoretical probability as the number of trials increases. See related question about 43 out of 53 for a theoretical probability of 0.50
What is the theoretical probability of choosing a red and blue marble on a turn?
cant answer this question without more information....probability requires a ratio.
Urgent Probability and Statistics help please The dice rolling has to deal with playing the game of Yahtzee?
Well, what is the question?
Is it empiracal probability?
There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. Furthermore, the correct spelling is empirical, not empiracal.
What is the theoretical probability of spinning a 3 and picking an a?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not specify how many places and how many 3's there are on the spinner, and you did not specify the set from which you could pick an "a", both of which are necessary pieces of information to calculate probability. Please restate the question.
Theoretical probability of rolling a factor of 10 on a number cube?
The factors of 10 are the numbers that divide 10 evenly: 1, 2, 5 and 10. To answer your question, you have to figure out what the probability of rolling one of these numbers is on a number cube.
If you were to perform the experiment 1000 times how would the experimental probality compare to the theoretical probality?
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.
What is the empirical probability of getting a C if a teacher has given 110 out in 3 years?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You need to specify, along with the 110 C's in the last three years, how many non-C's were also given out. Please restate the question.
What is the outcome if you roll a12 number dice 3 time?
You are asking a question about experimental probability. The problem with that type of question is that the answer is different each time you run the experiment. That's why we call it experimental probability. The outcome will be different each time you run the experiment.This is different than theoretical probability, where you can compute a probability based on some a priori knowledge of the conditions of the experiment. For instance, if you asked me what the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a 12 number die, I could easily compute that as 2 in 12, or 1 in 6, or about 0.1667. Even multiple experiments can be predicted. For instance, if you asked me what was the probability of throwing a 3 or a 4 on a 12 number die three times in a row, I could also easily compute that as (2 in 12)3 or about 0.004630.Alas, experimental and theoretical probability part company and one does not assure the other, unless you run a very large number of tests but, even then, you only do what we call approachthe theoretical results with the experimental outcome.
What is the probability that has the same probability?
What is the probability that this question makes absolutely no sense? 1/1. or 100%

What is the theoretical probability of tossing a coin?
That's a very complicated calculation, since it depends on so many variables that are difficult to evaluate or quantify. A few of the factors that would influence it are: -- whether or not you have a decision to make; -- how you go about considering the pros and cons, and exactly when you decide to leave the decision to chance, and to abide by the chance outcome; -- whether or not you have access to a coin at that moment; You would need to define your question a little more precisely before it would be possible to estimate an answer. For example, "what is the theoretical probability that any person anywhere on earth tosses a coin within the next one million years?" would give a very different estimated answer than if you asked, "what is the probability that a certain defined person tosses a coin within a defined five minute time span?" Or your question could be interpreted as to mean, "What are the possible outcomes when tossing a coin, and what is the theoretical probability of each outcome?"
