Within the world of probability there are different kinds that you can find and calculate. The two that I learned about are experimental probability and theoretical probability. In layman’s terms, experimental probability is the exact outcomes a person gets when doing an experiment. For example if a person tosses a coin 10 times and record there outcomes they would be recording their mathematical probability.
1. T 6. H
2. T 7. T
3. H 8. T
4. T 9. T
5. H 10. T
If these were the results from the coin toss, the
probability of getting a tail was 7/10, and the probability of getting a head
was 3/10.
When you are dealing
with theoretical probability it is different than mathematical probability. In basic terms if you do an experiment a large
number of times you will get the theoretical probability. So in terms of tossing a coin, if you toss it
enough times you will come up with the probability of getting a tail as ½ and a
head as ½.
I like your blog because it is simple and to the point. It's still super cute. I love all the pictures that you included as well as the links. I tried to keep my blog fairly simple like this one :)
