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
