2 + 2 = 4

=

2 + 0 + 2 = 4

=

2 + 0 + 2 / (2 + 0 + 2) = 4 / (2 + 0 + 2)

theoretical mathematics

if you can't instantaneously know/say all the rules of math

if you can't instantaneously know/say all of a set of math rules

theoretically it could be an illegal operation to divide by 2 + 0 + 2

some math portends an "answer rule" ... a squeeze ...

... 4 / 0 ... take zeroes from four until ... 'no more can be taken' [again, all rules? a set of?]

specific example

how about 4 / (0 + 2 + 2) or 4 / (2 + 2 + 0) ... the answer is not wholly "i can take no more"

if one does not or cannot follow order of operations for any reason

then one correct (but partial) answer per applied theoretical mathematics is "yes no no and no no yes", respectively

actual means recieved by the calculation of known data


What is the math definition of experimental?

The word "experimental" is usually used to describe data that have come from an actual test or experiment. These data are opposite to "theoretical" data, which are only educated guesses at what the data should look like. In statistics, theoretical probability is used a lot. For example, if I flip a coin, in theory, it would land on each side half of the time. Perform some trials, however, and this percentage may be skewed. The experimental data that you collect probably wouldn't exactly match the theoretical probability.


Definition of theoretical probability?

The term "theoretical probability" is used in contrast to the term "experimental probability" to describe what the result of some trial or event should be based on math, versus what it actually is, based on running a simulation or actually performing the task. For example, the theoretical probability that a single standard coin flip results in heads is 1/2. The experimental probability in a single flip would be 1 if it returned heads, or 0 if it returned tails, since the experimental probability only counts what actually happened.


Formula for percent error?

Percent Error = {Absolute value (Experimental value - Theoretical Value) / Theoretical Value }*100
