Question

If probability is desired outcometotal actual outcomes
, then how does theoretical probability relate to experimental probability if there is a fifty-fifty chance of a coin flip landing on heads? Please answer in 1–2 sentences.(2 points)

Answer 1

The theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2 (50%). The experimental probability is the observed fraction of heads in actual flips, which should be close to 1/2 and will tend to approach 1/2 as the number of trials increases.
