Talia tossed a penny many times. she got 40 heads and 60 tails. she said the experimental probability of getting heads was 40 over 60. Explain and correct her error.

It should be 40 out of 100 tries.

40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5

However, it's more likely that eventually, the probability would be closer to 50/100 = 1/2.
