Question

Tia performed an experiment where she flipped a coin 200 times. The coin landed heads up 92 times and tails up 108 times. Which statement about this experiment is true?
The ratio  represents the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

The ratio  represents the number of trials in this experiment.

The ratio  represents the theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

The ratio  represents the number of occurrences of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

Answer 1

only the first statement is true - it is the experimental probability. the rest is incorrect: the ratio is not the number of trials; the theoretical probability should be 0.5 (for unbiased coins); ratio never represents a number of occurences.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of times she flipped a coin = 200

Total number of heads in the experiment = 92

Total number of tails in the experiment = 108

Theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment is 0.5.

In the above experiment, the probability of the coin landing heads up is

$P(H)=\frac{92}{200}=0.46$

In the above experiment, the probability of the coin landing tails up is

$P(T)=\frac{108}{200}=0.54$

The ratio  represents the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

Therefore the correct option is 1.
