Question

Lynn and Dawn tossed a coin 60 times and got heads 33 times. What is the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn’s results?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(33)/(60)`

Explanation:

Given: The number of times Lynn and Dawn tossed the coin = 60

i.e. Total outcomes = 60

The number of times they got heads = 33

i.e. Favorable outcomes = 33

Now, the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn’s results is given by :-

`\text{P(heads)}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{P(heads)}=(33)/(60)`

Hence, the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn’s results =
`(33)/(60)`

Answer 2

Based on the result of the girl experiment, we can predict that if the same coin is tossed again as an independent experiment,
The probability of getting a head again is simply 33/60

Hope this helps
