Theoretical Probability
Definition

Theoretical probability is probability that is determined on the basis of reasoning (not through repeated experiments).


Experimental probability ratio
Demonstration

The more times the die is tossed, the closer the values of the experimental probabilities get to the values of the theoretical probabilities (of getting a chosen numeral).


Sample space of throwing a die: { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
