and
Theoretical
Probability
EXPERIMENTAL
PROBABILITY
is the ratio of the
number of times an
event occurs to the total
number of trials or times
the activity is performed.
EXPERIMENTAL
PROBABILITY
It refers to the probability
of an event occurring when
an experiment was
conducted.
The probability of an event
is being determined through
an actual experiment
EXPERIMENTAL
PROBABILITY
Mathematically,
THEORETICAL
PROBABILITY
is the likeliness of an
event happening based
on all the possible
outcomes
THEORETICAL
PROBABILITY
is determined by noting
all the possible outcomes
theoretically, and
determining how likely
the given outcome is.
THEORETICAL
PROBABILITY
 The ratio for the
probability of an event 'P'
occurring is P (event) =
number of favorable
outcomes divided by
number of possible
outcomes.
THEORETICAL
PROBABILITY
 Mathematically,
y,
EXAMPLE:

If a dice is rolled 6000

times and the number '5'
occurs 990 times, then the
experimental probability
that '5' shows up on the dice
is 0.165.
EXAMPLE:

If a coin is tossed on a
standard 8X8 chessboard,
then the theoretical
probability that the coin
lands on a black square is
0.5.
DIRECTION: Determine the
experimental probability of
the following.

1. Sam rolled a number cube

50 times. A “3” appeared 10
times.
2. A coin is tossed 60 times.
27 times head appeared.
Find the probability of
getting heads

number '5' shows up on a
dice when rolled.
2. From the letters A, E, I, O,
U, what is the probability of
selecting the letter E?
3. What is the probability of
randomly choosing a
consonant in the letters a,
b, c, d, e?

letter from the word
EXPLORE, what is the
probability of choosing a
vowel ?

DIRECTION: Determine
whether the following
examples are experimental
probability or theoretical
probability.
ASSESSMENT
1. Nine pieces of paper with
the numbers 1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6
and 6 are placed in a bag. A
student chooses one without
looking. What is the
probability that the student
can choose the number 4?
ASSESSMENT
2. The probability of getting
a green marble from a bag
is 3/8. There are 40
marbles in a bag, how
many are green?
