Answer the following question: Which fits better to the theoretical probabilities? a) My personal observed results fit best to the theoretical probabilities b) The class overall observed results fit better to the theoretical probabilities c) Both sets of observed results fit equally well to the theoretical probabilities. d) Neither set of observed results fit the theoretical probabilities – they are both bad fits to the probabilities.
Compound Probability
Compound probability can be defined as the probability of the two events which are independent. It can be defined as the multiplication of the probability of two events that are not dependent.
Tree diagram
Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the subject of probability. Although there are many different concepts of probability, probability theory expresses the definition mathematically through a series of axioms. Usually, these axioms express probability in terms of a probability space, which assigns a measure with values ranging from 0 to 1 to a set of outcomes known as the sample space. An event is a subset of these outcomes that is described.
Conditional Probability
By definition, the term probability is expressed as a part of mathematics where the chance of an event that may either occur or not is evaluated and expressed in numerical terms. The range of the value within which probability can be expressed is between 0 and 1. The higher the chance of an event occurring, the closer is its value to be 1. If the probability of an event is 1, it means that the event will happen under all considered circumstances. Similarly, if the probability is exactly 0, then no matter the situation, the event will never occur.
I need help answering these questions. Please help, this is for a lab (due tonight). Thank you!!

To give answers to the asked questions, Chi-Squared test of Goodness fit can be used mostly with 100(1-)% assurance of its validity.
But for that test, actual observed and expected frequencies are required and this test can not be applied to relative frequencies as it has requirement of having frequencies must be greater than 5 , so It is mandatory to find frequencies from relative frequencies using N=1200.
Ho: Fit is good (No significant difference between observed and theoretical frequencies)
Vs.
H1: Fit is not good (always right tailed)
Using total frequency , N= 1200, Observed and theoretical frequencies can be obtained.
Test statistic for that test is,
Using formula for the data given , calculated values are,
Larger is the Calculated value for the test statistics , more strong is the evidence to reject H0.
Hence, Fit is good for class frequencies and fit is not good for particular frequencies.

Here, Mean absolute deviation can also be used to choose best fit among two.
Mean absolute deviation in statistics is defined as " Average absolute distance between observed and theoretical values" .Larger the value of MAD , more is the variability between actual and predicted values.
Given that , total number of frequencies = n=11.
