Question

fill in the blank 3 points an act whose outcomes are determined by chance: choose your answer... a mathematical description of chance based upon empirical evidence, usually through repeated trials: choose your answer... a mathematical description of chance based upon deduction of a hypothetical situation: choose your answer... a comparison of the number of ways to do an event versus the number of ways not doing an event: choose your answer... fill in the blank 4 points possible result of a probability experiment: choose your answer... experimental probability probability experiment theoretical probability odds

Explanation:

1. An act whose outcomes are determined by chance is called an experiment. In probability, an experiment is a process that can yield a set of possible results.
2. A mathematical description of chance based upon deduction of a hypothetical situation is theoretical probability. It is calculated by using logical reasoning and assumed - equal - likelihood of outcomes.
3. A mathematical description of chance based upon empirical evidence, usually through repeated trials is experimental probability. It is found by conducting actual trials and recording the number of times an event occurs.
4. A comparison of the number of ways to do an event versus the number of ways not doing an event is odds. Odds compare the favorable and non - favorable outcomes.

Answer:

1. experiment
2. theoretical probability
3. experimental probability
4. odds
