Lesson 2 Summary
In this lesson you looked at theoretical probability and how it relates to experimental probability, as seen in Discover when you used the absolute value of the difference of rolling two dice.
Theoretical probability explains what should happen in an experiment, and experimental probability explains what actually happened when the experiment was performed.
You also learned that as the number of trials in an experiment increases, the experimental probability approaches the same value as the theoretical probability.
The formula for experimental and theoretical probability is the same.
In Lesson 3 you will begin to explore odds. Odds provide an alternate way to express the chance of something occurring.
