Today Aiden and I really honed in on the difference between theoretical and experimental probability. We looked at the probability of a given even occurring and discussed when it would be experimental vs. theoretical. For example, we considered the likelihood of spinning a spinner with 4 equal outcomes: red, blue, green, and yellow. Aiden suggested the probability of any given color would be 1/4. That is the theoretical probability, indicating what should happen on each spin. We discussed how this could help us determine how many spins would land on, say red, out of 200 spins. Aiden recalled setting up proportions to solve. He found we can expect 50 of our 200 spins to land on red. However, if we performed this experiment ourselves, we may not get that exact number. Perhaps only 38 of the 200 spins would be red. This would be our experimental probability. We considered that if we spun the spinner an infinite amount of times (and the spinner was not flawed in any way) that we can expect our experimental probability to be closer and closer to the theoretical probability.
