Theoretical and Experimental Probability

Question 1 • CR - Algebra 2 26-27 - S2

An insurance company predicts a 10% chance of an accident for drivers in a year. Out of 500 drivers, 65 report accidents.

Answer
I
It is equal to the theoretical probability.
I
It is greater than the theoretical probability.
I
It is less than the theoretical probability.
I
It cannot be determined.

Explanation

The actual proportion of drivers who reported accidents is 65 ÷ 500 = 0.13, or 13%. Since 13% is greater than the predicted 10% chance, the observed rate is greater than the theoretical probability. The correct choice is “It is greater than the theoretical probability.”
