Introduction

Probability is the branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood of events

occurring. It plays a vital role in various fields like science, finance, and gaming. In

this project, we will explore the fundamental concepts of probability and conduct

experiments to understand its practical applications.


Objective

The aim of this project is to:

1. Understand the basic principles of probability.

2. Conduct experiments to demonstrate probability concepts.

3. Analyze and compare theoretical and experimental probabilities.


Theory

Key Concepts:

1. Probability Formula: P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of

outcomes

2. Types of Events:

- Independent Events

- Dependent Events

- Mutually Exclusive Events

3. Law of Large Numbers: Over a large number of trials, experimental probabilities

tend to approach theoretical probabilities.


Methodology

1. Select experiments that involve random events, such as coin tosses, dice rolls, or

card draws.

2. Record outcomes for a significant number of trials to ensure accuracy.

3. Compare the experimental probabilities with theoretical probabilities.


Experiments and Data

Experiment 1: Coin Toss

- Toss a coin 50 times.

- Record the number of Heads (H) and Tails (T).

Theoretical Probability:

- P(Heads) = 1/2 = 0.5

- P(Tails) = 1/2 = 0.5

Experiment 2: Rolling a Die

- Roll a die 60 times.

- Record the frequency of each outcome (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

Theoretical Probability:

- P(Number) = 1/6
Calculations and Analysis

Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities. Analyze any discrepancies and

discuss reasons (e.g., small sample size, random errors).


Results

Summarize your findings, such as:

"The experimental probabilities were close to the theoretical values as the number of

trials increased."
Applications of Probability

1. Weather forecasting

2. Insurance risk assessment

3. Games and gambling

4. Stock market predictions


Conclusion

Probability is an essential concept with applications in everyday life and scientific

research. This project demonstrated how theoretical and experimental probabilities

align, highlighting the importance of sample size and randomness.
