The experimental probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of successful outcomes by the total number of trials. In this case, the successful outcome is the occurrence of heads.
Here are the values:
- Number of heads (successful outcomes) = 6
- Total number of tosses (trials) = 10
The formula for experimental probability \(P\) is:
\[
P(\text{heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total tosses}} = \frac{6}{10}
\]
Thus, the experimental probability of getting heads is \( \frac{6}{10} \).
So, the correct answer is \(6/10\).
