The probability in many situations cannot be<br />

characterized as equally likely, such as tossing<br />

a thumb tack to see if it lands with the point up<br />

or down, and therefore, theoretical probability is<br />

more difficult to determine. In such cases,<br />

experiments may be conducted to identify the<br />

probability.<br />

Before conducting experiments, you should predict the<br />

probability whenever possible, and use the experiment to<br />

verify or refute the prediction.<br />
