This question cannot be answered.

The height of the building is what matters in this, and also how one hits the ground.

If you 'land' feet first, you might survive with serious injuries.

If you 'land' on your head you will most likely die immediately.

If the building is anything over 25 feet you will most likely die.

Jumping off is not the problem - it's the sudden stop that does the damage. Base-jumpers 'fall' off buildings regularly and live, even from enormous heights - they have parachutes. And stuntmen fall off buildings and out high windows and live because they either land on piled up cardboard boxes or into a swimming pool of have some other way of cushioning their impact.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Should the numbers for the experimental probability be close to the theoretical probability?

Not necessarily. There may not even be a way to work out a theoretical probability. Furthermore, there is always a chance, however small, that the experimental probability is way off.


What can you do to get the experimental probability to be closer to the theoretical probability?

The experimental probability is figured out when a person goes through the trouble of actually trying it out. Theoretical probability is when a person comes to a conclusion of what is most likely, based off of the experiment results.


What is the probability of drawing 2 hearts in a deck of cards?

Oh, dude, the probability of drawing 2 hearts from a deck of cards is like 1 out of 13 for the first card, and then 12 out of 51 for the second card. So, if you multiply those together, you get about a 4.5% chance of pulling off that heartwarming feat. But hey, who's counting, right?


Ninety-five percent of the parts coming off an assembly line are non-defective what is the probability that of 500 parts fewer than 472 are non-defective?

Homework question? This is actually not a question of probability: if 95% of the parts are non-defective, then 0.95 * 500 = 475 parts are non-defective. So there is zero (0) probability that fewer than 472 parts are non-defective. The question is different when any part has a probability (chance) of 95% of being non-defective. This is a so called Binomial distribution. Google knows the answer.


What event has a probability of 0?

-- The freezing over of Hell. -- A confirmed sighting of flying pigs. etc. Besides anything that is impossible, as noted above, the simultaneous occurrence of two mutually exclusive events has a probability of zero: It is raining and it is not raining, it is on and it is off, etc.
