Question

Gina spins a penny 100 times and it lands head side up 38 times. Explain why Gina's experimental probability may be different from the theoretical probability of spinning a coin. pls help meeeeeeee

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials or times the activity is performed.

Theoretical probability is a method to express the likelihood that something will occur. It is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes.

Experimental: 38 times occurred/ 100 trials = 38/100 = 38%

Theoretical: 1/2 chance a coin lands on heads, 1/2 chance a coin lands on tails. 1/2 = 50%

Onne depends on chance, and one on facts, they are different.

Experimental Probability can vary for flipping a coin

Theoretical Probability will always be 50%
