I need to identify two questions as either Empirical or Classical Probability. The questions are as follows: 1. The probability of choosing 6 numbers from 1 to 40 that match the 6 numbers drawn by a state lottery is 1/3,838,380=0.00000026 2. According to a survey, the probability that a voting age citizen chosen at random is in favor of a skateboarding ban is about 0.63

Thank you very much :)

    What do you understand about the definitions of the two kinds of probability? What are your thoughts about the question? – 2017-02-24

    I know that Empirical probability means to have a final number on observed results, and Classical Probability is getting a result based on random selection – 2017-02-24

    Which of those examples has "observed results"? Which is a reliably "random" process (choosing from well defined equally likely cases)? – 2017-02-24

    The first question has observed results, and the second question has a random process – 2017-02-24

    I think that answers your question. – 2017-02-24
