Question

will someone help me understand this

Answer 1

For this activity, you will need two coins. First, you will determine the theoretical probability of events. Then, you will flip the coins 100 times and determine the experimental probability of the events.

Flip two coins 100 times, and record the results of each coin toss in a table like the one below:

Result Frequency
Two heads
Two tails
One head, one tail

Answer 2

frequency is supposed to be more spaced out btw

Answer 3

understand that
so first - if heads and tails are equally likely... what is the THEORETICAL probability of:
2x Heads - ???
2x Tails - ???
1x Heads and 1x Tails - ???

Answer 4

im not to sure

Answer 5

ok... well first: if it was only 1 coin, what is the probability of
Heads?
Tails?

Answer 6

heads 2*1
tails 2*1

Answer 7

or would it be 50 50 because they have the a equally likely

Answer 8

50 / 50
each outcome is equally likely
and there are only 2 possible outcomes
so THEORETICAL probability =
1/2 heads = 50%
1/2 tails = 50%

Answer 9

u cool with that? like understand and locked, so move on?

Answer 10

if theres two coins wouldnt that be
FIRST COIN
heads: 25
Tails:25
SECOND COIN
heads:25
Tails: 25

Answer 11

yep, if there are 2 coins, that's totally correct
so 2 coins: 4 possible outcomes
head head
head tail
tail head
tail tail

Answer 12

so 4 possible outcomes
each outcome equally likely
therefore each outcome = 1 chance in 4
head head = 1/4 = 25%
head tail = 1/4 = 25%
tail head = 1/4 = 25%
tail tail = 1/4 = 25%

Answer 13

so i would fill my chart out like this

Answer 14

Result Frequency
Two heads 25%
Two tails 25%
One head, one tail 50%

Answer 15

sure... but this answer is only for the THEORETICAL probability

now u have to work out the EXPERIMENTAL probability by seriously flipping 2 coins, 100 times, and fill in the table again

Answer 16

couldn't i flip them both ten times and add a zero to each of those numbers and it be same to 100

Answer 17

nah, more likely to be skewed results if u do that, sáll

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

well now im gonna flip two coins 100 times

Answer 20

good luck, cya

Answer 21

c ya
