Why are experimental probabilities sometimes very different from theoretical probabilities?
A perfect example of how theories are tested ! Theory predicts the outcome
of the experiment, and the purpose of the experiment is to test the theory.
If the outcome of the experiment is appreciably different from the one predicted
by the theory, (and if the experiment itself was valid), then the prediction is flawed,
and the theory must be either tweaked or trashed.

What does theoretical probability mean in math terms?
Sometimes it is possible to define a model for a trial or experiment and then use mathematical or scientific rules to determine the probability of the possible outcomes. Such a procedure gives theoretical probabilities.
Who was the father of experimental science and mathematician?
Galileo Galilei was and is sometimes referred to as "the father of experimental science." Galileo didn't take much on faith, rather, he tested his ideas through experiments and expressed them in mathematical form.
What is unique about the experimental design of an observational study?
Experimental subjects are left free for manipulation
How is the monty hall problem related to math?
The Monty Hall Problem is an example that shows people are not always good at correctly estimating probabilities. To be fair, the problem is sometimes describedpoorly. The problem is obviously related to the theory of probability, in mathematics.
Do you find the actual answer in estimation?
No, not generally. Sometimes you may by chance (to a degree) find the exact number. Estimations are put in place to give us a rough guide to for instance experimental data.
Why is it rare to have the experimental and theoretical probabilities be the same?
Because multiple experiments can be tried to prove just one theory. When humans get involved there are a multitude of factors that sometimes can't and don't get taken into account as well.

Do probabilities predict the precise outcome of an individual event?
sometimes
What is the difference between experimental and dependent drugs?
the difference between experimental and dependant drug are that experimental drugsis when you insert it through your veins etc, depentant are drugs that help and sometimes destroy yor inernal organs
How do you use experimental variable in a sentence?
Scientists try to control for experimental bias.An experimental bias often goes unrecognized if the student does not carefully consider sources of potential biases.A desire for a specific outcome is an experimental bias.

What do you call feces?
Different for different animals, sometimes droppings, sometimes pellets, sometimes scat, etc.
What does control mean in the meaning of science?
When doing experiments you have to have a control group and an experimental group. The control group is not given a drug (for example), while the experimental group is. This will show (later on) if the drug had a real effect. Sometimes the control group will be given what is called a placebo. This looks just like the drug that the experimental group is given, except it has nothing in it.

Has fashion now become more experimental due to the relaxation of gender identity?
Some designers have always designed for the "gender neutral" as it's sometimes called.
Is the government hiding UFOs?
It's likely. Experimental aircraft are sometimes unidentified by observers. They may take on an unusual/novel shape in order to fly faster or stealthier. These kinds of experimental aircraft are, for obvious reasons, kept secret. They are identifiable by those who made them but not by those who see them.
