Can experimental probability change?
Yes. Each repeat of the trial is likely to alter the probability.
What is the experimental probability of rolling a 3 on a number cube labeled 1-6 if raul rolled a 3 four times out of 20?
use binomial probability. (nCx)(px)(qn-x)...... N=trials x=outcomes p=probability in one trial. q=1-p...... N=20 x=4 p=1/6 q=5/6.......... nCx or nCr is a function on any scientific calculator, may need to search for it.. (20C4)(1/6)4(5/6)16=.2022 or 20.22% __________________________________________________________________ The above probability is the theoretical probability. The experimental probability would be: P(3) = 4/20 = 0.20 = 20%.
What are the formulas for Theoretical Probability?
There are no generic answers. The theoretical probability for rolling a die and tossing a coin will, obviously, be different. The theoretical probability of an event is calculated by finding a suitable model for the trial and then using scientific laws to determine the probabilities of its outcomes.
When rolling a fair die 50 times what is the probability of rolling a 3 18 times?
Each roll of the die is a Bernoulli trial with a probability of success of 1/6 or about 0.1667. The probability of rolling a 3 exactly 18 times out of 50 is18 ~ Bin(50, 1/6), which equals(50!/(18!(50-18)!))(0.1667^18)(1-0.1667)^(50-18), which is about 0.00052.
What does total probability equal?
For any particular trial, the total probability is 1.
