A. four-eighths
B. start fraction 5 over 8 end fraction
C. The fraction is 5 over 3.
D. start fraction 3 over 5 end fraction

Answers
The experimental probability of getting heads can be calculated by finding the number of times heads appeared in the results and dividing it by the total number of times the coin was flipped. In this case, heads appeared 5 times out of 8 trials. Therefore, the experimental probability of getting heads is:
5/8
The answer is B. start fraction 5 over 8 end fraction.
5/8
The answer is B. start fraction 5 over 8 end fraction.
