Explain the theory
Experimental probability: the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.
Experimental Probability:
Number of darts altogether=20
Number of darts in the target=4
20/4=5
Theoretical probability: the likeliness of an event happening based on all the possible outcomes.
Theoretical Probability
Area of target=36.55
Area of dartboard (5X5)=25
36.55/25=1.462
The Experimental Probability and the Theoretical Probability were not similar at all... the experimental probability shows that the ratio of the total/ over the amount in the dartboard was 1/5.
