PROBABILITY: THEORETICAL AND ACTUAL

In the real world, some events happen by chance.  In mathematics, we study those possibilities through probability.  First, we'll look at simple probability. 

Theoretical probability is the way the outcomes should happen ideally.  We'll examine the outcomes and theoretical probability of tossing two coins.  Then, we'll compare the theoretical probability with actual outcomes.
