In experiment, a coin is flipped 30 times and the results are {H, H, H, T, T, T, T, H, T, H, H, T, H, H, H, T, T, H, H, H, T, H, T, T, H, T, H, H, H, H}. Heads: 18 Tails: 12

5 answers

The frequency of heads is 18 and the frequency of tails is 12.
Round your answer to the tenth place (one digit). Determine the experimental P(head) = . Determine the theoretical P(head) =
Experimental P(head) = Frequency of heads / Total number of flips
= 18 / 30
= 0.6

Theoretical P(head) for a fair coin = 0.5
Determine the theoretical P(head) =
For a fair coin, the theoretical probability of getting heads is given by:

P(head) = Number of outcomes in favor of heads / Total number of possible outcomes
P(head) = 1/2 = 0.5

Therefore, the theoretical probability of getting heads in a flip of a fair coin is 0.5.
