Experimental probability
Mathematics · Probability · procedural
Record, describe, and analyse the frequency of outcomes from probability experiments to develop an understanding of relative frequency as an estimate of probability
What mastery looks like
- Conduct a coin-toss experiment, record results in a frequency table, and calculate relative frequencies
- Compare experimental results with theoretical probability and explain discrepancies
- Predict that relative frequency approaches theoretical probability as the number of trials increases
Check your understanding
If Experimental probability rolls a die 60 times and records the results, can they compare how often each number came up with what they'd expect in theory — and explain why they might not match perfectly?
