Solution

Normal vs. Experimental Probability

Normal probability is what should happen, in theory. If we flip a coin, we should get tails 50% of the time, or 1 out of 2 times. Normal Probability: no of favorable outcomes / no of possible outcomes

Experimental probability is a result of trials that test predictions. We flip a coin 50 times to see how often it actually lands on tails. We must do a sufficient number of experiments.

Experimental Probability: no of favorable outcomes / no of trials

Yes throwing a Dart is an experimental probability.
