The experimental probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of times the event occurs by the total number of trials.

In this case, you want to find the experimental probability of landing on tails based on the previous results:

1. The number of tails observed = 22
2. The total number of flips = 50

The experimental probability \( P(Tails) \) of landing on tails is calculated as follows:

\[
P(Tails) = \frac{\text{Number of Tails}}{\text{Total Flips}} = \frac{22}{50} = \frac{11}{25}
\]

Thus, the experimental probability that the coin will land on tails on the next flip is \( \frac{11}{25} \).

The correct answer is **11/25**.
