Experimental Probability - YourTeacher.com - Math Help

For a complete lesson on experimental probability, go to http://www.yourteacher.com - 1000+ online math lessons featuring a personal math teacher inside every lesson! In this lesson, students learn that probability can be found by conducting an experiment. For example, given a number cube that has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on its faces, students are asked to toss the number cube 6 times and use the results to determine the probability of rolling a given number, such as 4. Note that the theoretical probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6 (1 favorable outcome) / (6 possible outcomes), but the experimental probability may be different from 1/6. For example, if a student tosses the number cube 6 times and fails to toss a 4, the experimental probability will be 0/6, or 0. Students learn that experimental probability approaches theoretical probability as the number of trials increases. For example, if a student tosses the number cube 100 times, the experimental probability of rolling a 4 will approach 1/6.

I enrolled in cyber school this year and started a little later than the other kids. My Math teacher told me that i had to finish a certain amount of work that i missed. I thought it was not fair because i am a visual learner and need to see it happen in front of me. When i found your channel I knew that i would learn this stuff quickly. Yay! I am done with the work i needed to catch up on now!

its so fun watching somebody spinning a spinner number of times

@MW2killcams101 It's called khanacademy . org

[turminator8]

Kahn Academy is much better... sorry

[MW2killcams101]

Man i wish there was a site called your math teacher .com that way I could see complete math lessons with example videos , interactive practice problems  self test and more.

well I guess life isnt perfect
