Solution

The correct option is B
False

Theoretical approach to probability makes it possible to predict the outcomes of an event without actually performing the experiment. In many cases, it is not feasible to repeat the experiment again and again. For e.g. In the case of calculating accuracy of a missile hitting a target, the missile cannot be launched again and again. The accuracy is thus calculated theoretically. Hence, the given statement is false.
