Isla flipped a coin 30 times. the coin landed heads up 9 times and tails up 21 times.

part a: based on the results, what is the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up? show your work. (5 points)

part b: what is the theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up? show your work. (5 points)


Respuesta :

The probability of the coin landing heads-up is 0.3 experimentally and 0.5 theoretically .

a) The experimental probability of an event occurring is the number of times that it occurred when the experiment was conducted as a fraction of the total number of times the experiment was conducted.

Thus the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up is

=9/30

= 0.3

b) Theoretical probability is the likelihood that an event will happen based on pure mathematics. The formula to calculate the theoretical probability of event A happening is

Thus the Theoretical  probability of the coin landing heads up is

= 1/2

=0.5
