Answer 1

You "experiment."

 

"An event that consists of two or more simple events is called a compound event. For example, when a die is thrown, the event of number 1 turning up is a simple event. The event of getting an odd number consists of three simple events of getting 1, getting 3 and getting 5."  -- Wikipedia

 

Probability is defined as:  (number of successful events) / (total number of events)

 

So, you count the number of successful outcomes and divide by the total number of outcomes.  For example, if you are observing the probability of getting a odd number followed by an even number, you roll the dice twice and add one to the total event count and, depending on whether that compound even was a success, you might add one to the successful event count.  When you are done with the experiment, divide the results to get the experimental probability.
