Simulation and experimental probability Flashcards
1
Q
What is experimental probability
A
Estimating the number of times something will happen
2
Q
How do you do experimental probability
A
Number of trials x probability of it happening
3
Q
If a question says “a spinner can land on blue white and red and the probability it will land on white is 0.25 and the probability of it landing on red is 0.3, what is the probability of it landing on blue” How do you work out the probability it will land on blue
A
0.3 + 0.25 = 0.55
1- 0.55 = 0.45
