Question

What is the experamental probability that the coin lands on heads?

Answer 1

The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %

Explanation:

Given:

Experiment:

A coin is Toss

Let the Sample Space be 'S' that is total number of outcomes for a coin has been tossed = { Head, Tail }

∴ n ( S ) = 2

Let A be the event of getting a Head on tossing a coin i.e { Head }

∴ n( A ) = 1

Now,

`\textrm{Probability} =\frac{\textrm{outcomes for the experiment}}{\textrm{total number of outcomes}}`

Substituting the values we get

`P(A) = (n(A))/(n(S)) \\\\P(A) = (1)/(2) \\\\P(A) = 0.5\\\\P(A) = 50\%`

The experamental probability that the coin lands on head is 50 %
