A coin has one of two outcomes: heads or tails.
Each has an equal probability of occurring, meaning that they each have a 50% chance to occur. (They need to add up to 100% because they include all the outcomes, divide that into two equal parts and...)
This is what we call theoretical probability. It's a guess as to how probability <em>should</em> work. Like in the experiment, it's not always going to be 50-50.
What <em>actually happens</em> is called experimental probability. This may vary slightly from theoretical probability because you can't predict probability with complete certainty, you can only say what is <em>most likely to happen</em>.
We want to find the probability of getting heads in our experiment so we can compare it to the theoretical outcome. To do this, we need to compare the number of heads to the total number of outcomes.
We have 63 heads, and a total of 150 coin flips.
That makes the probability of getting a heads 63/150.
The hard part is getting this ratio into a percent.
You can try simply dividing, but you should be able to notice something here.
SInce the top and the bottom of our fraction are both divisible by 3, we can <em>simiplify</em>.
63 ÷ 3 = 21
150 ÷ 3 = 50
So we could say that 63/150 = 21/50.
A percent is basically a fraction out of 100.
Just like you can divide the parts of a ratio by the same number and it will stay the same, you can also multiply. To get the fraction out of 100, let's multiply by 2.
(since 50 × 2 = 100)
21 × 2 = 42
50 × 2 = 100
21/50 = 42/100 = 42%
Comparing our experimental probability to the theoretical one...it is 8% lower.

Answer:
[[274][895][136]]
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with the middle row, we need a product of two single-digit numbers that is between 53-1 = 52 and 53-9 = 44. Possible products are 5×9=45 and 6×8=48. This means the number in the middle position in the left column must be 8 or 5.
The middle number in the left column cannot be 5, because we must be able to get -5 by subtracting that number from a sum that is at least 3 = 1+2. So, the middle number in the left column is 8, the other two numbers in that column are 1 and 2, and the other two numbers in the middle row are 5 and 9.
There is no product of single-digit numbers that is 30-1 = 29, so the upper left number must be 2, and the bottom left number must be 1. The other two numbers on the top row must be 4 and 7, so that row's equation is 2+4×7=30.
The only remaining digits are 3 and 6. In order to have -3 on the bottom row, the equation there must be 1×3-6 = -3. Then the middle digit must be divisible by 3, so must be 9.
Our solution is ...
row 1: 2 + 7 × 4 = 30
row 2: 8 + 9 × 5 = 53
row 3: 1 × 3 - 6 = -3
And that makes the column equations be ...
col 1: 2 - 8 + 1 = -5
col 2: 7 + 9 / 3 = 10
col 3: 4 × 5 - 6 = 14
