The correct answer is: It is equal to the theoretical probability for this data.
The experimental probability of getting heads can be calculated by dividing the number of times heads appeared (90) by the total number of flips (150), which is 90/150 = 0.6 or 60%.
The theoretical probability of getting heads on a fair coin flip is 50%.
Since the experimental probability of getting heads in this data is 60%, which is equal to the theoretical probability of 50%, we can conclude that the experimental probability is equal to the theoretical probability for this data.
A coin was flipped 150 times. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table:
Heads Tails
90 60
Which of the following best describes the experimental probability of getting heads?
It is 10% higher than the theoretical probability.
It is 10% lower than the theoretical probability.
It is equal to the theoretical probability for this data.
The experimental probability cannot be concluded from the data in the table.
