Learning is easy when you have the right tutor!

The three types of probability are:

  • Theoretical (The probability of something happening in a perfect scenario - e.g the probability of heads on a coin flip is 1/2)
  • Experimental/Empirical (The probability of a result based on the results of an experiment - e.g if you flip a coin 10 times and get heads 3 times, the probability of heads is 3/10)
  • Conditional (The probability of something happening based on another event - e.g picking marbles from a bag; the probability of a marble being red is determined by the previous marble colours picked, as there are a finite number of marbles).

Helping you achieve your best!

The 3 types of probability are Classical, Relative Frequency Definition and Subjective Probability. You are most likely to be asked about Classical which involves taking the number of ways an event can occur and dividing it by the number of possible outcomes. An example would be the probability of getting a total of 7 when throwing 2 dice. There are 6 ways of getting a total of 7 and 36 possible outcomes. This gives a probability of 6/36 or 1/6
