You toss a coin 50 times and get 14 tails. What is the experimental probability of getting heads?

Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of getting heads, we need to calculate the number of heads obtained in the 50 tosses.

Since you got 14 tails in 50 tosses, the number of heads obtained would be:

Number of heads = Total tosses - Number of tails
Number of heads = 50 - 14
Number of heads = 36

Now we can calculate the experimental probability of getting heads:

Experimental probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total tosses
Experimental probability of getting heads = 36 / 50
Experimental probability of getting heads = 0.72

Therefore, the experimental probability of getting heads in 50 tosses is 0.72 or 72%.

Answer 2

what's the correct answer

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct that:

Since you tossed a coin 50 times and got 14 tails, the number of heads obtained would be:

Number of heads = Total tosses - Number of tails
Number of heads = 50 - 14
Number of heads = 36

Now, to find the experimental probability of getting heads, we divide the number of heads by the total number of tosses:

Experimental probability of getting heads = Number of heads / Total tosses
Experimental probability of getting heads = 36 / 50
Experimental probability of getting heads = 0.72

Therefore, the correct experimental probability of getting heads in 50 tosses is 0.72 or 72%.
