Question

Flip two different coins 100 times, and record the results of each coin toss in a table like the one below
Result
Frequency
Two heads
23
Two tails
24
One head, one tail
53

Answer the following questions based on the data you gathered. You must show your work to receive credit.

What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?

What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?

What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?

Compare the theoretical probabilities to your experimental probabilities. Why might there be a difference?

Answer 1

need to know asap please help

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

was their a meanig to that

Answer 4

hold up i forgot to read it im reading it now

Answer 5

So, a coin has 2 sides, heads and tails, so technically speaking there is a 50 50 chance that it will be one or the other

yep

Answer 7

So, for the first one
What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
For one head to show, it would be 50% chance, because 50 50
But since there are two heads, you multiply half times half, which is 0.25, which is 25% chance
I'm not sure whether your teacher wants it in fractions or precentages

Answer 8

So, then could you delete those responses? lol

percentages

Answer 10

Okay, then it is 25%

Answer 11

*25% chance that there will be 2 heads

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

And so the show your work will be 50% times 50% is 25%, because, 0.5 times 0.5

Answer 14

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two heads showing?
This is asking about what you did, and your answers.
You got 23 two-heads, which is 23%

Answer 15

What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?
This would be the same thing as heads

Answer 16

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in two tails showing?
You got 24, so 24%

Answer 17

What do you think the answers of these two would be
What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?

What is the experimental probability that a coin toss results in one head and one tail showing?

Answer 18

And I forgot to make sure if you knew.
A theoretical probability is like, in nature, what it should, like, when you flip a coin,t here is 50% it's heads, adn 50% it's tails
But in reality, in the experimental one, it's your results
So, try the last 3

Answer 19

ok thank you

Answer 20

Do you know how to do the last 3 now?

Answer 21

yep

Answer 22
