Question

Talia tossed a penny many times. She got 40 heads and 60 tails. She said the experimental probability of getting heads was 40/60 . Explain and correct her error.

Answers option

No,there were 40 heads in 100

No,there were 60 heads in 100

Answer 1

There were 40 heads in 100.

Explanation:

If Talia got 40 head flips and 60 tails flips then that means she flipped the coin 100 times total (because 40+60=100) and so it would be Talia landed on heads 40 times out of her 100 total flips.
