alleryAs the number of trials grows, experimental probability moves:
AAway from theory
BTowards zero
CBeyond one now
DCloser to theory
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Closer to theory
1. A small number of trials can give an odd result.
2. More trials smooth that unevenness out.
3. The experimental value tends to get closer to the theoretical one.
4. So the answer is closer to theory.
