What is relative frequency?

Probability calculated from experiment data

What is the formula for calculating relative frequency?

frequency of outcometotal frequency\frac{\text{frequency of outcome}}{\text{total frequency}}

How does sample size affect relative frequency accuracy?

Larger samples give more accurate estimates

A bag has 8 red, 12 blue, and 10 green balls. What's the probability of picking red?

830\frac{8}{30}

What are the three key steps for calculating from frequency tables?

Find frequency, find total, then divide

What happens to experimental probability as you increase the number of trials?

The estimate becomes more accurate

What is the law of large numbers?

Experimental probability approaches theoretical

For a fair four-sided dice, what is the theoretical probability of rolling any number?

14\frac{1}{4} or 0.250.25

Why can small samples give misleading results?

They may not reflect true probability well
