(This question has 4 parts)

1. Use an appropriate technology to simulate 25 tosses of a coin. Report your results
2.What experimental probability is indicated by this data?
3. What is the theoretical probability that a coin toss will yield a result of heads? Or tails?
4. Explain any differences between the theoretical probability and the experimental probability.
(Sorry for so much but I honestly have no idea how to do this)
(Please make a good answer with details and include how you did it)

Heads - 9

Tails - 16

----

Probability of heads = 9/25 = 0.36 = 36%

Probability of tails = 16/25 = 0.64 = 64%

----

Heads = 36%

Tails = 64%

----

The experimental probability basically says the answer but the theoretical probability clears out the answer.

Heads - 12
Tails - 13
Total Flips - 25
-- separate --
Probability of heads: 12/25 = 0.48

Probability of tails: 13/25 = 0.52
-- separate --
Heads: 48%
Tails: 52%

Hope this helps.
