Question

when would you expect the experimental probability of an event to be closest to its theoretical probability? a. when the results of 10 trials were used in calculating the theoretical probability b. when the results of 10 trials were used in calculating the experimental probability c. when the results of 100 trials were used in calculating the experimental probability d. none of the above, because the experimental probability is unrelated to the theoretical probability. please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of trials in an experiment increases, the experimental probability gets closer to the theoretical probability. Among the options, 100 trials (option c) is a larger number of trials compared to 10 trials (options a and b). Option d is incorrect because experimental probability is related to theoretical probability (as per the Law of Large Numbers).

Answer:

C. When the results of 100 trials were used in calculating the experimental probability
