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, the event is getting heads.
- The number of times heads appeared = 6
- The total number of coin tosses (trials) = 10
So, the experimental probability of getting heads is:
\[
\text{Experimental Probability of Heads} = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Tosses}} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6
\]
Now, looking at your options:
- 106
- 610
- 510
- 64
None of these values are in a form that matches 0.6. If you meant to express 0.6 as a fraction, it can be simplified to \( \frac{3}{5} \), but that is not one of the provided options either.
