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.

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%

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

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%
