two coins are tossed, what is the experimental probability of the coins showing two heads

OpenStudy (kayla.m23):

50%

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

idk how to check if it right

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

how did you get that

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Missing info.

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

how?

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

its just like the theoretical probability question but experimental

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

"experimental probability" where is the experiment?

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

you toss 2 coins in the air

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

what is the experimental probability they both land on heads

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That means you'd need to do it, then.

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

?

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

hold up let me show you what im doing

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Experimental means actually having done the experiment.

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

there

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

See what i meant by missing info now? :P Experimental = how many Two Heads over total number of tosses

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

wait what?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

How many two heads were there? How many total tosses?

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

26/100

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes, have some confidence :P

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

wait

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

look at my answer for theoretical, was i supposed to look at the chart or what it was supposed to be for theory

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

lol you pretty much just answered your own question there.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

for theoretical, was i supposed to look at the chart or what it was supposed to be for theory ^ look at the words you used :P

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

so theoretical probability is the probability in theory?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

From google, definition of the word 'theoretical' "based on or calculated through theory rather than experience or practice."

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

Thanks dude id give you another medal if i could

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Or just look the words theoretical and theory. Just like experimental and experiment.

OpenStudy (zootedyoungin):

ok thanks
