Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of total outcomes

From the information given,

number of favorable outcomes = 54

number of total outcomes = 120

The experimental probability that the coin will land on heads on the next toss = 54/120

Dividing the numerator and denominator by 6,

The experimental probability that the coin will land on heads on the next toss = 9/20
