Question

The experimental probability of a simple event is P(event) = number of times an event occurstotal number of trialsEXAMPLE: The following line plot shows the students’ birthdays in a class. Compare the theoretical and experimental probability.Based on the data from the class, experimental P(Tuesday) = 525=15=0.2=20%Because there are 7 days in a week, theoretical P(Tuesday) = 17=0.14=14%Please complete the following question:In experiment, a coin is flipped 30 times and the results are {H, H, H, T, T, T, T, H, T, H, H, T, H, H, H, T, T, H, H, H, T, H, T, T, H, T, H, H, H, H}.Heads: 18Tails: 12(2 points)Round your answer to the tenth place (one digit).Determine the experimental P(head) = .Determine the theoretical P(head) = .Question 2(1 point)The theoretical probability is equal to or less than or more than the experimental probability the coin landing on heads.Skip to navigationPreviousNext

Answer 1

Determine the experimental P(head) = 18/30 = 0.6 = 60%
Determine the theoretical P(head) = 0.5 = 50%

The theoretical probability is less than the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads.
