Answer:

(B) based upon counting the number of times an event occurs divided by the number it could have.

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical probability is also known as experimental probability or relative frequency. This type of probability makes use of the frequency of occurrence of an outcome in a sample to obtain probability.

Empirical formula = number of occurrence ÷ total number of trials.

Disadvantages of empirical probability.

a. It could lead to wrong conclusions.

b. Insufficient sample size: it requires very large sample size, small samples leads to inaccuracy.

Advantages.

It cannot be assumed.

It is backed up by experiment and data.
