Question

Tia performed an experiment where she flipped a coin 200 times. The coin landed heads up 92 times and tails up 108 times. Which statement about this experiment is true?

The ratio  represents the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

The ratio  represents the number of trials in this experiment.

The ratio  represents the theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

The ratio  represents the number of occurrences of the coin landing heads up in this experiment.

Answer 1

the correct choice is A (the theoretical probability is 1/2).

Explanation:

The classic definition of probability is: the probability is the ratio of the number of favorable events (m) divided by the number of possible events (n):

Tia performed an experiment where she flipped a coin 200 times. The coin landed heads up 92 times and tails up 108 times (check that 92+108 is exactly 200). Then the theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up in this experiment is

.
