Question

Tiya flipped a coin 40 times. the coin landed heads up 16 times and tails up 24 times. part

Answer 1

Probability? I'm guessing it is asking for a written response so I'll try my best.

If the coin landed heads up 16 times then the probability would be 16/40 which can be reduced to 2/5 
If the coin landed tails up 24 times you would do the same so 24/40 and then you can reduce that to 3/5

Part a: The experimental probability of it being tails would be 3/5
Part b: The experimental probability of it being heads would be 2/5

hopefully, I understood the question correctly but I believe this is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

a)  Experimental probability = 0.4

a)  Theoretical probability = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcome to total number of out comes.

Part a:

The experimental probability of the coin landing heads up

              Total number of outcomes = 40

              Number of favorable outcome = 16

              Experimental probability $=\frac{16}{40}=0.4$

Part b:

The theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up

A coin has two sides head and tail,so probability of landing heads up is 0.5.
