Kalil flipped a coin sixty times. He got thirty-four heads. How does this result compare to the number of heads you would have expected based on theoretical probability?

What is the probability of expecting a tails compared to a head on a coin?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm… so since you have two different options with a coin, what is the "expected" probability of getting a head?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly! Or 1/2. So that means if you flipped the coin 60 times, you would expect to receive 30 heads---> 30/60 since it is a probability of 50%

Sure! I think the question was worded a little differently, but you knew your material:)
