Question

A coin was flipped 150 times. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table:

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement that best describes the experimental probability of getting heads is:

       It is 10% higher than the theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the theoretical probability of getting head is: 0.5

and the theoretical probability of getting tail is: 0.5

Also, the results of experiments are:

          Heads        Tails

           90                60

This means that the experimental probability of getting head is: 90/150=3/5=0.6

and the experimental probability of getting tail is: 60/150=2/5=0.4

Hence, the experimental and theoretical probability of getting head is not same or equal.

Also, the experimental probability of getting head is more than the theoretical probability  of getting head and the percent increase is calculated as:

$(0.6-0.5)\times 100\\\\\\=(0.1)\times 100\\\\=10\%$

Answer 2

Answer:

Its 10% higher than theoretical

Step-by-step explanation:

90/150 x 100= 60%

60-50=10
