I can find theoretical probabilities from a list of possible outcomes for one event.
Theoretical probabilities - A theoretical probability is a probability based on counting the number of desired outcomes from a sample space where all individual outcomes are equally likely.
Pupils may assume that theoretical probabilities can be also found in cases where individual outcomes are not equally likely (e.g. picking a sweet out of a box where the sweets are different shapes).
If the sweets in a box are different shapes then picking a sweet out of the box is not necessarily random. Someone could find their favourite flavour sweet by feeling the different shapes.
