    1) Theoretical probability calculates the likelihood of an event based on all possible outcomes, while experimental probability is based on observed results from completed trials. For a coin flip, the theoretical probability of tails is 1/2, while an experimental probability could be calculated by flipping a coin many times and counting the number of tails. 2) Compound probability of independent events is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities together, while dependent events factor in the condition of one event occurring before another. Drawing a dime first and then a quarter from a pocket has a probability of 15/64 if coins are replaced, and 15/56 if they are not replaced between draws. 3) Predictions based on experimental probability are not exact
