Ames conducted an experiment with 4 possible outcomes. He determined that the experimental probability of event A happening is 10 out of 50. The theoretical probability of event A happening is 1 out of 4. Which action is most likely to cause the experimental probability and theoretical probabilities for each event in the experiment to become closer?

removing the last 10 trials from the experimental data

completing the experiment many more times and combining the results to the trials already done

including a fifth possible outcome

performing the experiment again, stopping immediately after each event occurs once

Completing the experiment many more times and combining the results to the trials already done

Completing the experiment many more times and combining the results to the trials already done.

Step-by-step explanation:

The action that is most likely to cause the experimental probability and theoretical probabilities for each event in the experiment to become closer is:

Completing the experiment many more times and combining the results to the trials already done.

Or in simpler terms, we can increase the number of trials.

The theoretical probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

The experimental probability is the ratio of number of times the event is occurring to the total number of trials of the experiment.
