Question

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!!

J.R. tossed a coin 100 times. Fill in the boxes to complete each statement.

Based on J.R's results, the _________ probability of tossing heads is ________% This is __________ than the theoretical probability of tossing heads with a coin.



(on graph, tails is 60 number of tosses and heads is at 40 number of tosses)

Answer 1

Based on J.R's results, the experimental probability of tossing heads is 40%. This is less than the theoretical probability of tossing heads with a coin.

Experimental probability refers to the results found in an actual trial or 'experiment'. So here he tossed 40 heads out of 100 tosses so this would be 40%. Theoretically you have a 50% chance of tossing heads or tails, therefor the experimental probability is less than the theoretical probability.
