What is the theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up? Show your work.
OpenStudy (supersmart1001):
ii dont know what people r doing but thats what they got
OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):
hmm...ok thx for helping though :D

@welshfella could u help?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
the experimental probability is the one derived from an experiment.
Here its P(H) = 12/20 = 0.6 and for tails P(T) = 8/20 = 0.4
OpenStudy (welshfella):
As a fair coiun has 2 sides the probability in theory of H = 1/2 and of T = 1/2
OpenStudy (welshfella):
theoretical probabilty is 0.5 for H and T.
OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):
ok so is it 40% for (t) @welshfella

that the experimental probability YES
OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):
so 40% for (t)...
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yep and 0.6 for heads
OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):
ok thx so much :)
