Answer

Probability that is based on situations in which we observe how frequently an event occurs is called empirical probability.

Work Step by Step

We know that the empirical probability applies to situations in which we observe how frequently an event occurs. And the Empirical probability of event $ E $, denoted by $ P\left( E \right)$, is calculated as given below; $ P\left( E \right)=\frac{\text{observed}\ \text{number}\ \text{of}\ \text{times}\ E\ \text{occurs}}{\text{total}\ \text{number}\ \text{of}\ \text{observed}\ \text{occurrences}}$
