Question

Sheila in her study partner flipped a coin 120 times they flipped 70 has and 50 tails what is the experimental probability that the next flip will be heads up?

Answer 1

7/12 = 0.5833 = 58.33% experimental probability that the next flip will be heads up.

Explanation:

Experimental probability:

An experimental probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, considering a number of previous trials.

What is the experimental probability that the next flip will be heads up?

120 previous trials.

70 were heads.

So

`p = (70)/(120) = (7)/(12) = 0.5833`

7/12 = 0.5833 = 58.33% experimental probability that the next flip will be heads up.
