The teacher of a seventh-grade class flipped a coin 100 times. The students recorded the results in the table shown below:
Side of Coin Landed On Heads Tails
Number of Flips 56 44
Which of the following best describes the experimental probability of getting heads?
The experimental probability is same as the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is 6% lower than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability cannot be concluded from the data in the table.

Mehek (mehek14):
how many times did they get heads
Mehek (mehek14):
and what's the total
OpenStudy (anonymous):
56
OpenStudy (anonymous):
after you find what @Mehek14 wrote, then compare that to the theoretical probability
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and the total is ...

110
Mehek (mehek14):
56 + 44 = 100
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we already now that 1/2 is the theoretical probability
Mehek (mehek14):
so \(\dfrac{56}{100}=56\)%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh i did plus 54 my bad

ok thank you!!
Mehek (mehek14):
and as @heretohelpalways said

Mehek (mehek14):
what is 1/2 of 100%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its C
Mehek (mehek14):
