Answer 10

Roger completed a probability experiment with a coin. He flipped the coin 32 times, and it landed on tails eight times. He looked at the results of his experiment to determine the ratio of heads outcomes to tails outcomes.





























The ratio of heads to tails in reduced form is to .

Answer 11

i have to give 2 numbers to go in the box

Answer 12

r u there

Answer 13

Ok, so he flipped the coin 32. it can land ONLY on EITHER heads or tails.

it landed on tails 8 times out of the 32 times, so the remaining times it landed on heads.

and the remaining number of times is 24 (I get this by subtracting 32- total number of times form 8 number of times it landed on tails).
i
Now we know the coin landed 24 times on heads and 8 on tails

the ratio of heads to tails is 24:8 reduce the number by dividing each side by 3, you get ?
