Key takeaways
Understand the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.
Calculate theoretical probability.
Understand reliability of relative frequency depends on the number of times a test is conducted.
Host: Shahriyar is a Maths Teacher at a School in Northwest London, teaching years 7 to 11. He graduated from the University of Warwick in 2013 and set off to China for two years teaching IGCSE and A-Level Economics. Relative frequency (experimental probability) is used when probability is being estimated using the outcomes of an experiment or trial, when theoretical probability cannot be used. In this class students will learn the difference between theoretical and experimental probability and how to calculate theoretical probability. This class is aimed at students in Years 8 - 10 and is great to solidify knowledge on the concept.
