- Definition
Experimental probability is when you figure out how likely something is to happen by actually doing an experiment many times and counting the results. For example, if you flip a coin 100 times and it lands on heads 53 times, the experimental probability of getting heads is 53 out of 100.
experimental probability is a term used in Ontario’s Kindergarten to Grade 8 curriculum.
