Calculate experimental probability

<p>Jack took a survey to find out the favorite fruit of his classmates. </p><ul><li>His data showed that `12` of his classmates like apples, </li><li>`5` like grapes, </li><li>`3` like watermelon, and </li><li>`10` like bananas.</li></ul> <p>A new student joined Jack's class today. What is the probability that the favorite fruit of the new student is an apple?</p>

Calculate experimental probability

<p>Tiles with the letters from Ron's name are in a bag. Ron draws a tile at random, records the letter, and then replaces the tile in the bag. The table shows the results of Ron's experiment.</p><tableui data-variant="basic" data-headers='["Letter","Number of Result"]' data-rows='[[{"value":"R"},{"value":"`31`"}],[{"value":"O"},{"value":"`28`"}],[{"value":"N"},{"value":"`41`"}]]' />/> => </tableui><p>What is the probability that the next letter that Ron draws will be the letter O or the letter R? </p>

Calculate experimental probability

<p>Pizza Heaven recorded how many of each type of pizza they sold today. </p> <tableui data-variant="basic" data-headers='["Pizza","Number sold"]' data-rows='[[{"value":"Veggies"},{"value":"`10`"}],[{"value":"Peppeoroni"},{"value":"`16`"}],[{"value":"Cheese"},{"value":"`12`"}],[{"value":"Mushroom"},{"value":"`2`"}]]' /> /> => </tableui><p>Based on these results, what is the probability that the next order will be a pepperoni or a mushroom pizza?</p>

Calculate experimental probability

<p>Cloud Nine Furniture sold several beds yesterday. They recorded the number of beds sold in the table given below:</p><tableui data-variant="basic" data-headers='["Bed Type","Count of Bed Sold"]' data-rows='[[{"value":"Twin-size"},{"value":"`3`"}],[{"value":"Full-size"},{"value":"`6`"}],[{"value":"Queen-size"},{"value":"`4`"}],[{"value":"King-size"},{"value":"`2`"}]]' />/> => </tableui><p>Based on this data, what is the probability that the first bed sold today will be a twin-size bed or a full-size bed?</p>

Calculate experimental probability

<p>A board game uses a bag of lettered tiles. Mia randomly chooses a tile and then returns it to the bag. The below table shows the number of vowels and number of consonants she draws. </p><ul><li>Number of vowels : `18` </li><li>Number of consonants: `32` </li></ul><p>What is the probability that the next tile Mia chooses from the bag will not have a vowel written on it?</p>

<p>Nathan spins a spinner that is split into `4` equal sections painted purple, white, blue, and pink. </p><ul><li>The spinner lands on purple `100` times,</li><li>on white `200` times,</li><li> on blue `150` times, and</li><li> on pink `50` times. </li></ul><p>What is the probability that Nathan's next spin will land on any section of the spinner other than blue?</p>

Experimental probability practice problemwill help your students to master this concept better. There are different types of probabilities. A type of probability that is based on adequate information of the events and actual information is known as ‘experimental probability’. It is also known as Empirical Probability. It illustrates the likelihood of an event to occur based on historical data. The empirical probability can be evaluated by dividing the number of times an event occurred by the total number of times an experiment is performed.

Share these amazing math problems on experimental probablity with your students and help them know more about experimental probability.

You can also try our Calculate Experimental Probability Worksheets and Calculate Experimental Probability Quiz as well for a better understanding of the concepts.
