Question

during samuel’s experiment, the experimental probability was 0.25. what else must be true about the experiment? the experimental probability of the outcome is (\frac{1}{4}). the experiment has four possible outcomes. the theoretical probability of the outcome is (\frac{1}{4}). four trials were run during the experiment.

Explanation:

Experimental probability is calculated as $\frac{\text{Number of times outcome occurs}}{\text{Total number of trials}}$. Given experimental probability is 0.25 (which is $\frac{1}{4}$), so the statement "The experimental probability of the outcome is $\frac{1}{4}$" must be true. The number of possible outcomes (theoretical) doesn't determine experimental probability, and we can't conclude the number of trials or theoretical probability from just experimental probability value.

Answer:

The experimental probability of the outcome is $\frac{1}{4}$. (Assuming the options are: A. The experimental probability of the outcome is $\frac{1}{4}$. B. The experiment has four possible outcomes. C. The theoretical probability of the outcome is $\frac{1}{4}$. D. Four trials were run during the experiment. )
