By definition, empirical probability is equal to:

O A.

Total number of trials/

Total number of successful trials

O B.

Number of trials/

Total number of trials

C. Number of successful trials/

Total number of trials

D. Number of favorable outcomes/

Total number of possible outcomes

C.) Number of successful trials / Total number of trials

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical probability of an event 'E' is defined as:

(Number of successful occurrences of event 'E' / Total number of trials)

The empirical probability requires that an experiment of a chosen number of trials be performed. The ratio of the number of success to the total number of trials is used to estimate the empirical probability of such event.

P (Empirical) = (Number of successful trials / Total number of trials)

This is different from the use of sample space in the evaluation of theoretical probability whereby all possible occurences is used to estimate the probable outcome of an event.

P (theoretical) = (number of required outcomes / total number of possible outcomes)
