I NEED HELP ILL FAN AND MEDAL YOU PLEAASSEEE!!!! I ONLY NEED 1.3.5
post your question please
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 the following questions based on the data you gathered. You must show your work to receive credit. 1. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing? 2. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing? 3. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing? 4. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing? 5. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing? 6. What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing? 7. Compare the theoretical probabilities to your experimental probabilities. Why might there be a difference?
@Vocaloid
start by flipping the coins and filling in the table
I did two heads are 28 and two tails are 31 and one head and one tail is 41
@Vocaloid
ok, let's start with the first question
1. theoretical probability of two heads = number of 2-heads/total number of flips = ?
what ? im confused
how many times did you get 2-heads?
28
good, so 2-heads/total number of flips = ?
28
100
/ means divide
.28
right, small mistake on my part, this should be the answer for 2, not 1
to answer the question for 1, all we need to do is multiply (probability of heads)*(probability of heads) where the probability of heads is 1/2
okay that's it?
3?
@Vocaloid
for two tails, multiply (probability of tails)*probability of tails
.31 last one is .41 @Vocaloid
nope
for theoretical probability we ignore the data
what's the probability of getting a tails? (don't look at your data, just consider a coin by itself)
1/2 @Vocaloid
good, so what is (probability of tails)*(probability of tails)?
2/4?
@Vocaloid
nope... * means multiply
what do multiply
probability of tails = 1/2 (probability of tails)*(probability of tails) = ?
15.5? @Vocaloid
um... not quite...
the probability of tails is 1/2 so what is (probability of tails) times (probability of tails)?
|dw:1449526526496:dw|
still there?
.25? @Vocaloid
good
now for number 5 we just subtract 1 - (1/4) - (1/4)
that's 0 ? @Vocaloid
no it isn't... check your math again.
what is 1 - (1/4)?
.75 @Vocaloid
