Theoretical and experimental


probability

In this experiment there is a difference between the theoretical and


experimental probability as theoretical probability is the likeliness
of the event occurring. In this case Pr(theoretical) = 1/5. The
experimental probability however is calculated based on the
frequency of the results and total number of outcomes.
n(outcomes) = 30. The largest difference between the expected
outcome and actual outcome is G1-G6 as the number of results
recorded exceeded the expected number by 33.33%

Long Run Proportion


The proportion of a particular outcome or event that takes place over a considerable amount of time and trials is the
long-run proportion. It is often used for statistical analysis to estimate how a data set behaves over time. However, my
experiment only had 30 trials and is not enough to become a long run proportion
