Experimental Probability: The number of times the outcome occurs compared to the total number of trials.
example: number of favorable outcomes over total number of trials.
Amelynn is flipping a coin. She finished the task one time, then did it again. Here are her results: heads: three times and tails: seven times. What is the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads?
Answer: 3/10
Explanation: Amelynn flipped the coin a total of 10 times, getting heads 3 times. Therefore, the answer is: 3/10.

Is it possible to have an experimental probability of 0?
yes. for example role a 6 sided die, will you get a 7? never. the experimental and theoretical probability is 0
What is more valid theoretical or experimental probability?
experimental probability
What is the difference between mathematical probability and experimental probability?
Mathematical probability is how many times something is projected to occur, where as experimental probability is how many times it actually occurred. For example, when discussing the probability of a coin landing heads side up... Mathematical probability is 1:2. However, if you actually carryout an experiment flipping the coin 5 times the Experimental probability may be 2:5
Why is experimental probability called experimental probability?
Because it is the process of deriving probability through repeated experiments.
How do you answer an experimental probability?
Experimental probability is not something that needs to be, or even can be, answered. There may be particular instances in which there are questions about experimental probability and they can only be answered in the context on which they arose.
