Experimental Vs Theoretical 2fqkge5

This document contains a worksheet on experimental probability with 13 questions. It provides tables of experimental data on number cube rolls and asks students to calculate theoretical and experimental probabilities and predict outcomes. It also covers concepts of disjoint and overlapping events when calculating probabilities of multiple conditions. The key is blank, waiting for students to provide their answers.

Section 12.7: Experimental Probability Worksheet

1.) What is the theoretical probability that an even number


will be rolled on a number cube? Number on Cube Frequency

1 8

2.) What was the experimental probability of how many times 2 3


an even number was actually rolled using the table?
3 9

4 6

5 4

6 6
3.) If you roll a number cube 36 times, how many times would
you expect to roll the number one?

4.) How many times did you actually roll the number one in the experiment?

5.) What is the theoretical probability for rolling a number greater than 4?

6.) What was the experimental probability of rolling a number greater than 4?

7.) What is the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

8.) If a car factory checks 360 cars and 8 of them have defects, how many will have defects
out of 1260?
9.) If a car factory checks 320 cars and 12 of them have defects, how many out of 560 will
NOT have defects?

10.) You plant 30 African violet seeds and 9 of them sprout. Use experimental probability to
predict how many will sprout if you plant 20 seeds?

Disjoint vs. Overlapping events:


11.) If you are picking a number between 1-20 what is the probability that you will pick a
number greater than 14 or less than 4?

12.) If you are picking a number between 1-20 what is the probability that you will pick an even
number or a multiple of three?

13.) If you are picking a number between 1-20 what is the probability that you will pick a
multiple of two or a number greater than 15?
Answer Key:

1.) 2.) 3.) 6


4.) 8 5.) 6.)
7.) Theo= what should happen
Exp = What actually happens
8.) 28 9.) 539 10.) 6
11.) 12.) 13.)
