The experiment involved tossing three coins simultaneously. The experiment was carried our 200 times, and it was noted that three heads occurred 50 times. What is the difference between the experimental probability of getting three heads and it's theoretical probability?

Question

A. 1/8
B. 3/8
C. 1/4
D. 1/12

Answer 1

The theoretical probability of getting three heads when tossing three coins is (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8.

The experimental probability of getting three heads in this experiment is 50/200 = 1/4.

The difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability is 1/4 - 1/8 = 1/8.

Therefore, the answer is A. 1/8.
