Question

A coin is flipped 200 times. The table shows the frequency of each event.

Outcome Frequency
Heads 96
Tails 104

Determine the experimental probability of landing on tails.
50%
52%
96%
104%

Answer 1

The answer is 52% if you are working on exam 4.04 Experimental Probability.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To find the experimental probability of landing on tails, we need to divide the number of successful outcomes (landing on tails) by the total number of trials (flips of the coin).

The successful outcome is tails, which occurred 104 times.

The total number of trials is 200.

So, the experimental probability of landing on tails is:

104 successful outcomes / 200 total trials = 104/200 = 0.52 or 52%.

So the experimental probability of landing on tails is 52%.
