Question

Lenny tosses a nickel 50 times. It lands heads up 32 times and tails 18 times. What isthe theoretical probability that the nickel lands heads up?

Answer 1

Theoretical probability = 1/2 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of times head landed = 32

Number of times tail landed = 18

Total number of times he tossed thre nickel coin = 50

Experimental probability

P(Heads) = possible out comes of getting head / total outcome

P (heads) = 32 / 50

P (heads) = 16/25

Theoretica probabilty = 1/2 or 50%

Therefore, the theoretical probability is 1/2 or 50%
