Question

A coin is flipped 20 times and the

results are H, H.T.T.T. H.T.T.
H.T. H. H.T.T.T. H.T.H.T.T.
What is the
experimental
probability
of getting a tail?
A.17
B 50
C.60
D.67

Answer 1

C. 0.60.

Explanation:

Out the twenty tosses, the tails showed up 12 times and the heads showed up 8 times.

So the experimental probability of getting a tail =

= the number of favorable outcomes / the number of trials

= 12/20 = 0.60.
