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?A) 7/10B) 3/10C) 1/2D) 0

Answer 1

B. 3/10

Explanation:

Given:

• The number of times the coin is tossed = 10.

,

• The number of times it lands on tails = 3.

We are required to determine the experimental probability of the coin landing on tails.

The experimental probability of an event landing on tails is calculated from the results of the experiment performed.

Therefore, the experimental probability is:

`\frac{\text{Number of Tails Outcome}}{\text{Total Number of Trials}}=(3)/(10)`

The correct choice is B.
