The probability depends on the nature of the outcomes in the set: whether or not they are mutually exclusive, independent.
A set of outcomes are called results. All possible outcomes are referred to as the sample space.
Experimental or empirical probability.
The probability of whatever it was that happens.
Probability determined as part of an experiment is called experimental probability. Probability determined by analysis of all of the possible and expected outcomes is called theoretical probability.
The probability depends on the nature of the outcomes in the set: whether or not they are mutually exclusive, independent.
It is the outcome space.
Probability is a numerical value defined for a set of outcomes. It is non-negative and such that the sum or integral over all possible outcomes is 1.

Experimental or empirical probability.
It is the probability distribution.
The probability of whatever it was that happens.
Probability determined as part of an experiment is called experimental probability. Probability determined by analysis of all of the possible and expected outcomes is called theoretical probability.
Probability is given as Desired Outcomes divided by total number of outcomes. For the probability of picking a vowel, desired outcomes are : a,e,i,o,u (5) Total no. of outcomes is the entire alphabet set from a to z (26) Hence, the required probabilty is 5/26
A probablity calculated by examing possible outcomes, rather by expermenting,is a theoretical probability.
