A coin is flipped 150 times. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table: Heads Tails 63 87 Which of the following statements best describes the experimental probability of getting heads? It is equal to the theoretical probability.*** It is 8% lower than the theoretical probability. It is 8% higher than the theoretical probability. The experimental probability cannot be concluded from the data in the table.

the 1st, but i dunno 100%

kk @snowflake0531

snowflake0531:

Do you know the difference between theoretical and experimental probability?

thanks snowflake for helping me out

snowflake0531:

The theoretical probability here is 50%, since the two sides of a coin but experimental probability you'll need to calculate What is 63/150?

Rx1nyDxyz:

i do, the experimetal is 42%

Rx1nyDxyz:

so i think it'd be #2

snowflake0531:

Yep, you're correct

Rx1nyDxyz:

ty! :)

snowflake0531:

yw~

Rx1nyDxyz:

wait how did you get 50%? im confused

snowflake0531:

Theoretical probability is how in theory it would be since a coin has 2 sides, the probability of it being on one side is 50%
