9th grader or watch college football?

15. In a survey of high school students, 326 students said they have texted during class
and 98 said they had not. From this, we can calculate the probability that a student
will text during class. Is this a theoretical or experimental (empirical) probability?

16. The probability of getting 3 of a kind in poker is about 2.11%. Is this a theoretical
