Question

The teacher of a seventh-grade class flipped a coin 100 times. The students recorded the results in the table shown below:

Side of Coin Landed On Heads Tails
Number of Flips 52 48


Which of the following best describes the experimental probability of getting tails?
The experimental probability is 2% lower than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is the same as the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is 2% higher than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability cannot be concluded using the data in the table.

Answer 1

Your answer is A. "The experimental probability is 2% lower than theoretical probability."

Explanation:

I did the work.

Answer 2

The answer is A. the experimental probability is 2% lower than the theoretical probability

Explanation:

I came to this conclusion because the theoretical probability would be 50/50 but the experimental probability showed it to be 52/48 which is 2% percent less for tails which is the side in question
