Group X performed 50 trials and group Y performed 100 trials.Each group recorded the results in the table below.XYToolsWhat conclusion can be drawn about the number of trials and the probability of the coin landing on heads or tails?O The experimental probability is closer to the theoretical probability for group Y than group XO The experimental probability and the theoretical probability for group X is the same.op stionThe ovnorimontal nrobability and the theoretical probability for aroun V is the camaQuestion 1 (Answered)0 kuMy Courses -C€

Answer 1

Since we are dealing with a fair coin toss, the theoretical probability says that heads is as likely to occur as tails.

In each of the experiment we would expect half the number of tosses to be heads and the other half to be tails. For 100 trials this should mean 50 of each. For 50 trials this should mean 25 of each.

As we can see from the results, neither of the experiments match the theoretical probability.

However, group Y is closer to the experimental probability that group x.
