Using the probability concept, we have that:
a) The experimental probability is of 0.75 = 75%.
b) The theoretical probability is of 0.5 = 50%.
c) As the number of trials increases, the probabilities are expected to get closer, though they might not be equal.
A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. For an experimental probability, these number of outcomes are taken from previous trials. A theoretical probability is calculated before any trial, and as the number of trials increase, the experimental and theoretical probabilities get closer.
From the table, there were 20 trials, and 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 15 resulted in even numbers, hence the experimental probability is:
p = 15/20 = 0.75 = 75%.
For a fair machine, even and odd numbers should be equally as likely, hence the theoretical probability is of 0.5 = 50%.
For item c, we have that as the number of trials increases, the probabilities are expected to get closer, though they might not be equal.
