Question

A fair, unbiased coin was flipped 10 times, giving the results shown in the table, where T = tails and H = heads.

Flip 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Result T T T H T T T H T T
What is the difference between the theoretical and experimental probabilities of getting heads?

A.
0.5
B.
0.0
C.
0.1
D.
0.3

Answer 1

How many times does heads show up in the table?

Answer 2

8

Answer 3

check again

Answer 4

count how many times "H" shows up

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

i read it wrong mu bad

Answer 8

so we divide that over the total number of flips (10)

that will give us the experimental probability (aka empirical probability)

Answer 9

what do you get for the experimental probability?

Answer 10

0.5

Answer 11

A = number of heads in the table = 2
B = number of flips = 10
A/B = ?

Answer 12

5?

Answer 13

2/10 = ?

Answer 14

you might be doing 10/2 which is the wrong order

Answer 15

0.2

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

Now for the theoretical probability 1 side is heads and there are 2 sides
1/2 = 0.5 is the theoretical probability of getting heads

Answer 18

the last thing you do is subtract the theoretical and experimental probabilities

Answer 19

0.3?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

ty

Answer 22

no problem
