Mark spins a penny 100 times and it lands head side up 41 times. Explain why Mark's experimental probability may be different from the theoretical probability of spinning a coin.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

experimental probability is what actually happens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theoretical probability is what is expected to happen

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

ok so i could just say that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the experimental probability would be 41/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the theoretical probability is 50/100, 0r 1/2 or 50% bc there are 2 sides of a penny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the experimental probability would be 41%

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

ok thx :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np ;) let me know if u need anything else

OpenStudy (nikki_skellington):

ok i will :)
