Question

Ted 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 18 Tails 22

What is the experimental probability of getting heads?
A. 0.18
B. 0.22
C. 0.35
D. 0.45

Answer 1

The person above is correct, I had the same question and got it right. I just wanted to say thank you to him!!! :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option: D is the correct answer.

D. 0.45

Explanation:

The results of the experiment are given as follows:

Coin Experiment Side of Coin Number of Tosses

Heads 18

Tails 22

This means that total 40 experiments were performed.

( Since 18+22=40)

Also, the number of times head turn up=18

Hence, the experimental probability of getting heads is:

Ratio of number of times head turn up to the total number of experiments performed.

Hence,

`Probability=(18)/(40)\\\\\\Probability=0.45`

Hence, the experimental probability of getting head is:

0.45
