Checkpoint: Experimental Probability Solutions

Why is it necessary to repeat a probability experiment multiple times?


Sample: So the experimental probability is (hopefully) close to the theoretical probability.

What is the suggested minimum number of times for an experiment to be performed?

100

Note

Q: Will an experiment always have the same results as theoretical probability? Explain.

A: No, because not enough trials are always performed, and not all experiments are fair.
