A coin is flipped 50 times and lands on heads 32 times. What is the experimental probability the coin will land on heads on the next flip? (1 point) Responses 32% 32% 50% 50% 56% 56% 64%

Answer 1

The experimental probability of an event is calculated by taking the number of times the event occurs divided by the total number of trials. In this case, the event is landing on heads.

The coin was flipped 50 times, and it landed on heads 32 times. Therefore, the experimental probability \( P(H) \) of landing on heads is:

\[ P(H) = \frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total flips}} = \frac{32}{50} = 0.64 \]

To express this as a percentage, you multiply by 100:

\[ P(H) = 0.64 \times 100 = 64% \]

So, the experimental probability that the coin will land on heads on the next flip is 64%.
