Question

A coin is tossed 10 times. It lands on heads 7 times and lands on tails 3 times. What is the experimental probability of the coin landing on tails?7/103/101/20

Answer 1

The experimental probability is given by the following formula

`\text{experimental probability=}\frac{successful\text{ tries}}{\text{total number of tries}}`

In our case, the total number of tries is 10 and the successful number of tries is 3 (landing on tails); thus,

`\Rightarrow\text{experimental probability}=(3)/(10)`

The answer is 3/10
