Spanish term
experimento irregular

This is a section of a maths text for ESO 1, the last and hardest section, on probability theory and probabilistic experiments. I can't find anything similar in English. I suspect there may be a word that is not generally attached to experiment to describe this kind of thing. I've found one (fair/unfair), but it doesn't really work with the text. Need some other inputs and perspectives, please.

ORIG
Hay experimentos regulares como lanzar un dado, en los que se puede calcular la probabilidad de que salga una cara sin necesidad de experimentar. Por otro lado, hay experimentos irregulares, como lanzar una chincheta, en los que no queda más remedio que experimentar para calcular la probabilidad de que caiga con la punta hacia arriba ya que ambas no tienen la misma probabilidad.

non-randomized experiment
In the statistical theory of design of experiments, randomization involves randomly allocating the experimental units across the treatment groups. For example, if an experiment compares a new drug against a standard drug, then the patients should be allocated to either the new drug or to the standard drug control using randomization.

biased/loaded experiment
If you're using a completely regular die, there will be a one in six chance of its falling on any one face. As soon as it becomes irregular, for example by being heavier on one side, the experiment becomes biased.
A drawing pin/thumbtack is an extremely irregular "die", and heavily loaded or biased. The only way you can calculate the probability of its falling with the point up is to throw it lots of times.
If I'm given the outcome of a number of dice rolls (say, 5 twos, 8 threes, etc), is there a way to assign a probability that the dice are biased or unbiased?

Probability with loaded and fair dice

(When you found "fair" you were in the right track, but I'm not sure an experiment can be fair or unfair.)
