Probability 2 Theory Probability theory is the branch of mathematics concerned with probability‚ the analysis of random phenomena. (Feller‚ 1966) One object of probability theory is random variables. An individual coin toss would be considered to be a random variable. I predict if the coin is tossed repeatedly many times the sequence of it landing on either heads or tails will be about even.

1) Describe two main differences between classical and empirical probabilities. a. Classical probabilities are based on assumptions; Empirical probabilities are based on observations. b. Classical probabilities do not require an action to take place; Empirical probabilities have to have been “performed”. 2) Gather 16 to 30 coins. Shake and empty bag of coins 10 times and tally up how many head and tails are showing. Number of coins: 20 * Consider the first toss‚ what is the
