chech whether 7/6 can be an empirical probability or not. give reasons.
Suppose we perform an experiment and let n be the total number of trials.
The empirical probability of happening of an event E is defined as
P(E) =
Now from the definition it is clear that P(E) since total number of trials is always greater or equal to the number of trials in which the event happened
Hence cannot be an empirical probability since number of trials in which the event happened cannot exceed the total number of trials
Note:- Empirical probability cannot be greater than 1
