レッスンノート

Theoretical and experimental probability

  • Theoretical probability = number of favourable outcomes ÷ total equally likely outcomes. A fair die gives P(6) = \frac{1}{6}.
  • Relative frequency (experimental probability) = number of times the event happened ÷ total number of trials.
  • Probabilities lie between 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain), and all outcomes sum to 1: P(A) + P(\text{not } A) = 1.

Relative frequency and the law of large numbers

  • Over many independent trials with a stable underlying probability, relative frequency tends to settle near that probability. More trials generally reduce random variation, but do not guarantee a closer estimate at every step or remove systematic bias.
  • A spinner landing on red 18 times in 50 spins has relative frequency \frac{18}{50} = 0.36.

Expected outcomes

  • Expected number = probability × number of trials. If P(\text{red}) = 0.2 and there are 150 trials, expect 0.2 \times 150 = 30.
  • Expected values are averages; actual results vary.

Bias and fairness

  • If the relative frequencies are very different from equal values over many trials, the die or coin may be biased.
  • Compare experimental results to the theoretical probability to judge fairness.

Estimating probabilities

  • Use data (e.g. past weather) to estimate probability when outcomes are not equally likely.
