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 />
