Question

You flipped a coin 50 times and got 23 heads.What is the experimental probability of getting a head? Write your answer as a fraction, decimal and percent.

Answer 1

`(23)/(50)=0.46=46`%

Explanation:

Experimental probability is the actual odds produced from an event. Probability is typically expressed as a fraction of the number of desired outcomes (numerator) over the total number of outcomes (denominator). In this case, the desired outcome is getting heads on a coin flip (23) and the total outcomes is the number of times you flipped the coin (50). Represented as a fraction:

`(23)/(50)`

Divide numerator by denominator to get a decimal: 23÷50 = 0.46

Multiply the decimal by 100 to get a percent: 0.46 x 100 = 46%
