How do the experimental probability and the theoretical probability of an event compare as the number or trails increases?

Answer:

They become equal

Explanation:

Theoretical probability is based on what is expected to happen

Whereas

Experimental probability is based on trials and observations

As the number of trials increase, experimental probability gets closer to the theoretical probability and eventually they become almost equal

Experimental probability means the amount of times an event happens to the total amount of trials.

Theoretical probability means the probability of something occurring.

When the number of trails increases, the experimental probability comes close to the theoretical probability until it equals each other. It really just depends on the number of trials there are in an experiment.

Best of Luck!
