1 9-2 Experimental Probability Experimental probability is one way of estimating the probability of an event. The experimental probability of an event is found by comparing the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials.

2 9-2 Experimental Probability During skating practice, Sasha landed 7 out of 12 jumps. What is the experimental probability that she will land her next jump? P(event)  number of times an event occurs total number of trials number of jumps landed number of jumps attempted P(jumps landed) 

3 9-2 Experimental Probability “P(event)” represents the probability that an event will occur. For example, the probability of a flipped coin landing heads up could be written as “P(heads).” Writing Math

4 9-2 Experimental Probability During basketball practice, Martha made 9 out of 10 free throws. What is the experimental probability that she will make her next attempt? Write your answer as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent. P(event)  number of times event occurs number of trials

5 9-2 Experimental Probability Emmanuel wins 12 out of 15 of his chess matches. What is the experimental probability that he will win his next game? Write your answer as a fraction, a decimal, and a percent.

6 9-2 Experimental Probability Students have checked out 55 books from the library. Of these, 32 books are fiction. What is the experimental probability that the next book checked out will be fiction?

7 9-2 Experimental Probability What is the experimental probability that the next book checked out will be nonfiction? Students have checked out 55 books from the library. Of these, 32 books are fiction.
