MEDAL AND FAN!!! Henry tossed a coin several times and recorded the number of heads and tails in the following table: Coin Experiment Side of Coin Number of Tosses Heads 12 Tails 18 What is the experimental probability of getting heads? 0.4 0.7 1.2 1.8 i think 1.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probability can't be more than 1. How many tosses were heads? How many tosses were there total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Heads 12 and Tails was 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. add them to get the total tosses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, so 12 of 30 tosses were heads. So the probability of getting heads is 12/30. Divide to get the decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.4 so A is the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
