👉 Frequency (statistics) in the context of Relative frequency

In probability theory and statistics, 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, i.e. by means not of a theoretical sample space but of an actual experiment. More generally, 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 being the number of outcomes in which the event A occurs, and n being the total number of outcomes of the experiment.
