HI!!! :)

^ There you go.

misty1212 · Answer

the short answer is that an experimental probability is not the same as an theoretical one

anonymous · Answer

^.^

misty1212 · Answer

the theoretical probability is $\frac{1}{2}$ and so the "expected value" is 
$$\frac{1}{2}\times 100=50$$

anonymous · Answer

Ok, thanks :) can you help with some more?

anonymous · Answer

They're all about probability

misty1212 · Answer

but in reality it would be very rare to get exactly 50 out of 100 tosses

misty1212 · Answer

the more  you repeat the expermiment, the more the "relative frequency" should approach $\frac{1}{2}$
sure why not?

anonymous · Answer

ok ill open another question :)

there many factors that can affect the uncertainty in a real experiment
when we do theoratical probability we are following some axioms and rules
which can or cannot be seen in real life
