A coin has one of two outcomes: heads or tails.
Each has an equal probability of occurring, meaning that they each have a 50% chance to occur. (They need to add up to 100% because they include all the outcomes, divide that into two equal parts and...)
This is what we call theoretical probability. It's a guess as to how probability <em>should</em> work. Like in the experiment, it's not always going to be 50-50.
What <em>actually happens</em> is called experimental probability. This may vary slightly from theoretical probability because you can't predict probability with complete certainty, you can only say what is <em>most likely to happen</em>.
We want to find the probability of getting heads in our experiment so we can compare it to the theoretical outcome. To do this, we need to compare the number of heads to the total number of outcomes.
We have 63 heads, and a total of 150 coin flips.
That makes the probability of getting a heads 63/150.
The hard part is getting this ratio into a percent.
You can try simply dividing, but you should be able to notice something here.
SInce the top and the bottom of our fraction are both divisible by 3, we can <em>simiplify</em>.
63 ÷ 3 = 21
150 ÷ 3 = 50
So we could say that 63/150 = 21/50.
A percent is basically a fraction out of 100.
Just like you can divide the parts of a ratio by the same number and it will stay the same, you can also multiply. To get the fraction out of 100, let's multiply by 2.
(since 50 × 2 = 100)
21 × 2 = 42
50 × 2 = 100
21/50 = 42/100 = 42%
Comparing our experimental probability to the theoretical one...it is 8% lower.
Answer:
multiply 343 by 2 and then divide that number by 3. the answer is 228.666666666

This image has the potential for visual bias, so there is no alternative text.
Select one:
a. Points: A, B
Line segments: bar(AB)
b. Points: A, B, C, D
Line segments: bar(AB)
c. Points: A, B, C, D
Line segments:
bar(AB), bar(BC), bar(CD), bar(AD), bar(BD), bar(AC)
d. Points: A, B, C, D
Line segments: bar(AB), bar(AC), bar(BD)

Answer:
180 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Since her photocopy session is 25 pages per minute, the total number of pages photocopied in 4 hour session can be calculated as;
number of pages = time × speed
= (4 × 60) × 25
= 240 ×25
= 6000 pages
Thus, number of pages photocopied in 4 hours is 6000.
For every 100 pages, 3 would contain some type of printing error. The number of pages she expect with printing error during 4 hour session can be determined as;
= 
× 3
= 60 × 3
= 180 pages
The expected number of pages with printing error during 4 hour photocopying session is 180 pages.
