Empirical and Theoretical Probabilities

Read page 251-253 of the etext. Remember the etext is found in MyMathLab. You can also access it through the Pearson+ mobile app.

1. Patti and John each played 100 games of Solitaire on their phone. Patti won 7 games so the estimated probability of wining is 0.07. John won 6 games so the estimated probability of wining is 0.06.
   1. Are these estimations theoretical or empirical probabilities? Explain your reasoning in detail.
   2. Which one would provide a better estimate of winning, a probability based on 100 games or a probability based on 1,000 games? Explain your reasoning in detail.

Again. Explain your reasoning in detail. You can quote the text including page# and what part of the page you are using, or give examples #, or explanation on the page, etc.
