In an experiment you are to flip a two sided coin 100 times and record 55 heads up and 45 tails up. Determine the theoretical an

d experimental probability of getting a heads up in the experiment.
theorical = 11/20, experimental = 11/20
theorical = 1/2, experimental = 1/2
theorical = 1/2, experimental = 11/20
theorical = 11/20, experimental = 1/2

Answer: The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because in the theory of the outcome is a 50/50 chance landing heads or tails. So, the theorectical probability is 1/2. Now the experimental must be 11/20.

Answer:

theory=1/2, experimental=11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

so when talking about theoretical probability you only consider the only possible outcomes which are either head or tail and since you haven't carried out any sort of experiment yet (many flips) you consider the number of outcomes of tossed once since it's theory which are two therefore the probability of each will be 1/2

but in experimental probability you now consider the number of times tossed and the outcomes of each side which is this case of heads will be 55/100 but in the answers they have simplified so it will be 11/20
