Question

what is the difference between theoretical probability and empirical probability

Answer 1

The empirical probability of an event is an estimate that  how often it will be occured in the data, whereas theoritical probability is an event occurring is expected

Example:

Empirical probability:

A coin is tossed 10 times - heads =7 & tail=3

P (h)=7/10

P (t)=3/10.

Theoritical probability:

A coin is tossed

P (h)=1/2

P (t)=1/2
