Empirical probability

The empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment. In a more general sense, empirical probability estimates probabilities from experience and observation. Given an event A in a sample space, the relative frequency of A is the ratio m/n, m being the number of outcomes in which the event A occurs, and n being the total number of outcomes of the experiment.
