Empirical probability is .

(A) our best guess.
(B) based upon counting the number of times an event occurs divided by the number it could have.
(C) based upon using a theory and/or logic to determine what should occur.
(D) None of the above.

(B) based upon counting the number of times an event occurs divided by the number it could have.

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical probability is also known as experimental probability or relative frequency. This type of probability makes use of the frequency of occurrence of an outcome in a sample to obtain probability.

Empirical formula = number of occurrence ÷ total number of trials.

Disadvantages of empirical probability.

a. It could lead to wrong conclusions.

b. Insufficient sample size: it requires very large sample size, small samples leads to inaccuracy.

Advantages.

It cannot be assumed.

It is backed up by experiment and data.

0     8

1     7.5

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y
