Use a formula to determine the expected probability of an event

Detailed explanation-1: -The theoretical probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes. Probability of Event P(E) = No. of. Favourable outcomes/ No.
Detailed explanation-2: -This formula is expressed as follows: Theoretical Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Theoretical probability describes how likely an event is to occur. We know that a coin is equally likely to land heads or tails, so the theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2. Experimental probability describes how frequently an event actually occurred in an experiment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Theoretical probability is probability that is determined on the basis of reasoning. Experimental probability is probability that is determined on the basis of the results of an experiment repeated many times.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mathematically, the formula for the experimental probability is defined by; Probability of an Event P(E) = Number of times an event occurs / Total number of trials.
