Question
james conducted an experiment with 4 possible outcomes. he determined that the experimental probability of event a happening is 10 out of 50. the theoretical probability of event a happening is 1 out of 4. which action is most likely to cause the experimental probability and theoretical probabilities for each event in the experiment to become closer?
removing the last 10 trials from the experimental data
completing the experiment many more times and combining the results to the trials already done
including a fifth possible outcome
performing the experiment again, stopping immediately after each event occurs once
To make experimental probability closer to theoretical probability, we need to increase the number of trials (Law of Large Numbers: as number of trials increases, experimental probability approaches theoretical probability). Removing trials, adding a new outcome, or stopping early don't help; only increasing trials by repeating and combining results does.
