Experimental Probability is ____
A
data from our experiment
B
our prediction
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Experimental probability, also known as Empirical probability, is based on actual experiments and adequate recordings of the happening of events. To determine the occurrence of any event, a series of actual experiments are conducted. Experiments which do not have a fixed result are known as random experiments.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. The theoretical probability is 50% heads, 50% tails. The actual outcome of your experiment may be 47 heads, 53 tails.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you are estimating probability based on data that has been collected, it is called experimental probability. For example, if a dart is randomly thrown at a dartboard 40 times, data can be collected based on the numbered sector in which the dart lands.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tossing a coin, throwing dice, or whirling a spinner are all examples. The probability of an event is always equal to the number of times it occurs divided by the total number of trials in mathematics.

Detailed explanation-5: -Experimental probability is frequently used in research and experiments of social sciences, behavioral sciences, economics and medicine. In cases where the theoretical probability cannot be calculated, we need to rely on experimental probability.
