Answer 1

Part 1: The theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up is **50%**.

Part 2: To calculate the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up, you use the formula:

\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Flips}}
\]

In this case, the number of heads is 48 and the total flips is 80.

\[
\text{Experimental Probability} = \frac{48}{80} = 0.6
\]

To express this as a percentage:

\[
0.6 \times 100 = 60\%
\]

So, based on Liz's results, the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up is **60%**.
