Your favorite soccer player scored one goal after taking five shots on goal. what is the experimental probability that he will score on the next shot on goal?

Since 5 goes into 100 twenty times, then 1 out of 5 would be the statistical probability of 20%. Note: This is a generalization based on what we have previously discovered.

Hello!

The experimental probability is the data we get after performing an experiment. The theoretical probability is what we expect to happen. For example, we have a wheel labeled with a red section and a blue section. If you wanted to know how many times the spinner would land on the blue wheel, you can say 1/2, as it is the theoretical probability. If you spun the wheel 100 times, you would still get about 1/2 as well, which is the experimental probability.

As we can see, the soccer player has scored 1/5 goals. As it is soccer, there is no accurate theoretical probability as soccer is not like a fair wheel where there is an EXACT 1/2 chance. With soccer there is not an exact 1/2 chance of making a goal or not. This makes 1/5 our experimental probability.

To find this probability we will multiply our probability by 6.

0.2(6)=1.2

This means he has a 1.2/6 chance, which is a 20% or 1/5 chance, as we know he seems to have a 1/5 chance based off the data we have. We do not know the exact probability as he has only kicked 5 times.

I hope this helps!
