Flip a coin 10 times. What is the experimental probability of landing on heads if it lands on heads 6 times?
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for experimental probability.
If you roll a die 12 times and get the following frequency: 3 appears 1 time. What is the experimental probability of rolling a 3?
💡 Hint: Count how many times you rolled a 3 over the total rolls.

What is the formula for calculating experimental probability?
💡 Hint: Think about how many times the event happened compared to how many total attempts.
True or False: Experimental probability can be less accurate than theoretical probability if too few trials are conducted.
💡 Hint: Consider the impact of repeated experiments.

After conducting an experiment where a spinner is spun 200 times and lands on color red 70 times, color blue 50 times, and color yellow 80 times, calculate the experimental probability of landing on red and discuss what these results might suggest about the spinner.
💡 Hint: Consider the total spins and how they relate to theoretical expectations.
In a card drawing experiment, 300 cards are drawn from a standard deck and the following frequencies were observed: Hearts 90, Diamonds 75, Clubs 90, Spades 45. Calculate the experimental probability of drawing a Club. What do these results indicate?
💡 Hint: Think about how these results compare with the expected probabilities for a deck.
