Since you are actually performing the action, I'd have to go with Experimental.
If asked just to calculate the probability, then it would be theoretical. The actual observations might or might not agree with the calculation. In fact, for any finite number of trials, the expectation is that it would not in fact be exactly as calculated.
You draw five cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. P(heart) = 4/5 (fraction). What type of probability is illustrated and why?
Theoretical; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes**
Theoretical; the result is found by repeating an experiment
Experimental; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes
Experimental; the result is found by repeating an experiment**
The ones with ** are the ones I think the answer could be. Please help, thanks. :-)
