Can anybody tell me what is the relationship between probability and frequency and hence what is the meaning of probabilty frequency.
isabella said:So what is the meaning of probabilty frequency?
Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. It is expressed as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 indicates certainty.
Probability and frequency are closely related because probability is based on the concept of frequency. The probability of an event is the long-term proportion of times that event would occur if the situation were repeated an infinite number of times.
No, probability cannot be greater than 1. This is because a probability of 1 means that an event is certain to occur, and a probability greater than 1 would imply that the event is even more certain to occur, which is not possible.
Probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. This is known as the classical definition of probability.
Theoretical probability is based on mathematical calculations and assumes that all outcomes are equally likely. Experimental probability, on the other hand, is based on actual data collected from experiments or real-life situations. It may differ from theoretical probability due to chance or other factors.
