Solution

The experimental or empirical or classical probability is based on conducting an experiment. It relies on conducting the experiment repeatedly. It is more reliable as it is not an assumption but rather based on the experiment. For example- If a coin is tossed $50$ time and the frequency of getting head is $30$ .
$P (E) = \frac{F r e q u e n c y o f g e t t i n g h e a d}{N u m b e r o f t i m e s t h e c o i n s i s t o s s e d}$ .
The $P (E)$ probability of getting a head is $30 \div 50 = \frac{3}{5}$
