A class tossed coins and recorded 161 heads and 179 tails. What is the experimental probability of tails? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
A. 25%
B. 47%
C. 53%
D. 61%

Is this hard or easy?
hartnn (hartnn):
experimental probability = number of passed events in the experiment / total number of events
hartnn (hartnn):
its very easy
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok so you divide I think.

hartnn (hartnn):
so to get experimental prob of tails,
the numerator is number of tails recorded
hartnn (hartnn):
and denominator is total coin tosses = no. of tails + no. of heads
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so x/179
OpenStudy (anonymous):
179 / 161
hartnn (hartnn):
179 in the numerator is correct

hartnn (hartnn):
the denominator is TOTAL number of tosses
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so 340
hartnn (hartnn):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so bascially 179 / 340
hartnn (hartnn):
thats correct :)

to get the answer in %, multiply that answer by 100
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then the answer overall is 200, i got 2.0
hartnn (hartnn):
179/340 is NOT 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its 1.9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhh srryyy

its 1.0
hartnn (hartnn):
i guess you did 340/179 :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0.526
hartnn (hartnn):
yes, thats correct, rounded to 53%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well then how would you solve others... the samw way?
