Question

Mike tossed a coin several times and recorded the number of heads and tails in the following table:

Coin Experiment
Side of Coin Number of
Tosses
Heads 24
Tails 26


What is the experimental probability of getting heads?
0.24
0.26
0.48
0.92

Answer 1

Probability is the number of times an event happens over the total number of attempts there were. In this case, heads was flipped 24 times and the total number of attempts was 50. Therefore, the probability is 24/50, which equals 0.48.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.48

Explanation:

Given : Number of heads in a experiment : 24

Total number of tosses : 24+26=50

Now, the experimental probability of getting heads is given by :-

`\text{P(heads)}=\frac{\text{Number of heads}}{\text{Total tosses}}\\\\=(24)/(50)=0.48`

Hence, the experimental probability of getting heads = 0.48
