The experiment involved tossing three corns simulating the slay the experiment was carried out 100 times and it was noted that three had occurred 40 times what is the difference between the experimental probability of getting three heads and its theoretical probability write the answer and simplest form of a fraction

Answer 1

The theoretical probability of getting three heads when tossing three coins is (1/2)^3 = 1/8.

The experimental probability of getting three heads in this experiment is 40/100 = 2/5.

To find the difference, we subtract the theoretical probability from the experimental probability:

2/5 - 1/8 = 16/40 - 5/40 = 11/40

Therefore, the difference between the experimental probability of getting three heads and its theoretical probability is 11/40.
