Answer 1

To find the experimental probability of getting tails when a coin is tossed, you can use the following formula:

\[
P(\text{Tails}) = \frac{\text{Number of Tails}}{\text{Total Number of Tosses}}
\]

First, determine the number of tails by subtracting the number of heads from the total tosses:

\[
\text{Number of Tails} = \text{Total Tosses} - \text{Number of Heads} = 250 - 124 = 126
\]

Now, we can calculate the probability of getting tails:

\[
P(\text{Tails}) = \frac{126}{250} = 0.504
\]

Thus, the experimental probability of getting tails is **0.504**.
