Answer 2

@Luigi0210

Answer 3

@dani_00

Answer 4

is that the whole question ??

Answer 5

no. it my personal question

Answer 6

to help solve a different ?

Answer 7

? = question

Answer 8

no im just saying b/c thats non specific question.
you dont find it, its a way of thinking that can relate to possible answers, get what im saying ?

Answer 9

sorta. but my school says this is how u find it and i dont understand
\[\frac{ outcomes }{ number~of~possible~outcomes }\]

Answer 10

its like weighing the options you have. idk how to explain it

Answer 11

yes!!!

Answer 12

theoretical theory... lol...

Answer 13

thats exactly what im trying to do. hang on

Answer 14

a coin can fall on either heads or tails.... (right?)
So how many possible outsomes is there?

Answer 15

2

Answer 16

flipping the coin 100, omg, slap the teacher:O

Answer 17

i posted in comments what i have to submit

Answer 18

i have to flip TWO coins 100 times lol

Answer 19

@Mehek14 :)

Answer 20

meow

Answer 21

ok... experimental probability.
Do you know what this term means?

Answer 22

meow

Answer 23

the number of desired outcomes divided by the total # of trials.

what is a desired outcome?

and the total # of trials is what? in this case

Answer 24

correct!

Answer 25

the desired number of outcomes varies.
the total number fo trials is 100

Answer 26

the I mean number of desired outcomes.

Answer 27

~meow~

Answer 28

but what is the desired # of outcomes in this case? IM SO CONFUSED :( !!!!!!!!!

Answer 29

o wait no sorry

Answer 30

i made a mistake sorry

Answer 31

@emma.elizabeth5683

Answer 32

For a question:
2. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?

desired outcome is when both coins lands on heads.
the number of desired outcomes, is the number of times when both coins landed on heads.

the total number of trials is the number times you have tossed (i.e. 100)

Answer 33

Number of ways to succeed is one
Number of possible outcomes is two
Probability of getting heads is 1/2

Answer 34

so 32 / 100 for theoretical probability?

Answer 35

number of desired outcomes / total number of trials

is experimental probability

Answer 36

i meant 32 / 3

Answer 37

or 100 / 3?

Answer 38

im so confused

Answer 39

what is your exact question given to you? c:

Answer 40

so experimental probability (for question 2) is:
(if you don't remember question 2, please read it)

\(P=\rm (number~of~desired~outcomes)/(total~number~of~trials)\)

\(P=\rm (32)/(100)\)

\(P=\rm 0.32~~~~~or,~~8/25\)

Answer 41

i said 32/100 first!!!

Answer 42

yes

Answer 43

its 32% for the theoretical probability, yes?

Answer 44

and that is experimental probability for tossing both coins tails

Answer 45

i confused the info
2 tails = 28 times
2 heads = 32 times

Answer 46

yes

Answer 47

So, for question 2 it is 32%
and for question 4 it is ? (do the same thing as we did for question 2)

Answer 48

wait...im still on ? #1

Answer 49

whats #1?

Answer 50

u know what "theoretical probability" is?

Answer 51

no..that was my initial question

Answer 52

well sorta

Answer 53

@campbell_st

Answer 54

@Kash_TheSmartGuy

Answer 55

theoretical probability is what you expect to happen

if you toss a coin P(head) = 1/2 and P(tail) = 1/2

its as simple as that

Answer 56

theoretical probability.

We don't look at any experiments that took place before. How many outcomes does a paticular operation (for ex. tossing a coin) can have?
Now, what are the chances that it will behave in a particular way?

The coin example:
A coin can land on either heads or tails. What is a chance that coin lands on tails?
It is 1/2....

So the theoretical probability of the coin landing on tails is 1/2.

Answer 57

so it is 33%?

Answer 58

What is the chance that both coins will land on heads?

The first coin has a 1/2 (or 50%) chance of landing on heads.
The second coin has a 1/2 (or 50%) chance of landing on heads as well.

But these are dependent events (since you want both of these to occur, so that both coins land on heads).
This means that we multiply the probabilities/chances.
½ • ½ = ¼ (or 25%)

Answer 59

Again, we aren't looking at how many times you have tossed the coins.
The experiment is IRRELEVANT to any theoretical probability question that you have.

Answer 60

im still really confused and it needs to be done by 5

Answer 61

!!!

Answer 62

@Elsa213 @Skielerlucas04

Answer 63

what the question

Answer 64

@KyanTheDoodle is smart. Probably she can help. c:

Answer 65

i attached it in the comments. ill attach it again though

Answer 66

im having trouble determining what a desirable outcome is

Answer 67

@Vocaloid @Icedragon50

Answer 68

@Skielerlucas04 plz DONT LEAVE!!!

Answer 69

\(im~very~desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~\)

Answer 70

idk how to do this, i have a LOT of work to do myself

Answer 71

do u know what a desirable outcome is?

Answer 72

@SolomonZelman can u help me more?

Answer 73

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Answer 74

@Kash_TheSmartGuy @KyanTheDoodle

Answer 75

@nincompoop

Answer 76

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 77

Ok. calm down

Answer 78

Let's start with an example okay?

Answer 79

@muscrat123

Answer 80

Suppose you have a coin and your favor is to have tails. The theoretical probability would be:
\[\frac{ Possible FovorableOutcomes }{ Number Of Outcomes }\]So that would result in a theoretical probability of \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 81

@Jaynator495

Answer 82

nevermind. i figured it out on my own. and it would be 33.3% , not 50% bc there are 3 possible outcomes

Answer 83

I mentioned jay because in middle of testing.

Answer 84

Woah! Woah woah! I don't know how to read!

Answer 85

? @KyanTheDoodle

Answer 86

u dont know how 2 read?
