Answer:

I don't know this exactly, but I'll give it my best go!

We can get the answer by answering questions we know are true and eliminating the ones we don't.

E: Experimental probability can be written in the form of a ratio.

- Any probability can be expressed by a ratio so this is true.

B: Experimental probability is the same as theoretical probability.

- They are two different 'types' of probability so this is most likely false.

A: Experimental probability has the total number of trials in the numerator and the number of times an event occurs in the denominator.

- I'm fairly certain that applies to theoretical probability, not experimental.

So that means the answers are most likely C, D, and E. If I was wrong let me know!
