Probabilities

1. Definition of Probability : Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.

2. Experimental Probability definition: Experimental probability is the actual result of an experiment, which may be different from the theoretical probability. Example: you conduct an experiment where you flip a coin 100 times.

3. Theoretical Probability definition: Theoretical probability is the theory behind probability. Instead of that, we should know about the situation to find the probability of an event occurring.
