Roger completed a probability experiment with a coin. He flipped the coin 32 times, and it landed on tails eight times. He looke
d at the results of his experiment to determine the ratio of heads outcomes to tails outcomes. The ratio of heads to tails in simplified form is _ to _
can somebody help me plz :(
Since you know that he landed on tails 8 out of 32 times, he must have flipped heads for the flips he did not flip tails. So, subtract 32 minus 8, which equals 24, and your answer is 8 to 24. Simplify this like you would with a fraction; the greatest common factor is 8 so divide the "numerator" and the "denominator" by 8. Therefore your final answer is 1 to 3.
