The table below shows the results of flipping two coins. how does the experimental probability of getting HH compare to the theo
retical probability of getting HH? Outcome: HH HT TH TT
# of times tossed: HH=28 HT=22 TH=34 TT=16
A. the experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability
B. the theoretical probability is 3% greater than the experimental probability
C. the experimental probability is 7% greater than the theoretical probability
D. the experimental probability is equal to the theoretical probability
The correct answer is option B. i.e. the experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability<span>
The </span>theoretical Outcomes are: HH HT TH TT Then, the probability of getting HH = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
Now, Experimental Outcomes : <span>HH=28 HT=22 TH=34 TT=16 Total number of outcomes = 28+22+34+16 = 100 </span>Then, the probability of getting HH = 28/100 = 0.28 = 28%
Thus, <span>the experimental probability is 3% greater than the theoretical probability</span>
