Key Concepts

Empirical Probability

Empirical probability is based on observed data from experiments or trials. It is calculated by dividing the number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials. In this situation, rolling a six 80 times out of 100 yields an empirical probability of 0.8, which can indicate a potential bias or error in the experimental setup if the theoretical probability is 1/6.

Independence of Trials

This concept states that the outcome of one experiment (or die roll) does not influence the outcome of another. In the context of dice rolling, even if previous outcomes appear unusual, each roll remains an independent event with its own fixed probability distribution, assuming the die is fair or consistently biased. This means that previous rolls do not alter the probability of future outcomes.

Theoretical Probability

Theoretical probability refers to the expected likelihood of an event occurring under ideal conditions, based on the known structure of the experiment. For a fair six-sided die, the theoretical probability of rolling any particular number, including a six, is 1/6. This concept is used to determine probabilities without relying on experimental data.
