To answer the question
What if? or What are the chances of that?
often requires the use of probability or odds. When answering these questions as they relate to real world data, you will be using
experimental probability
. In Example 3, you used data collected from a study; so, the results were experimental probability. In
Warm Up
, the fair coin has an actual probability of
. This value is called the
theoretical probability
of the coin.

When solving problems, remember that theoretical probability is what should happen and experimental probability is what did happen. Experimental probability and the related odds are used to solve problems and make decisions in the following textbook examples.
