Question

You conduct an experiment to find the probability of a flipped coin landing on

heads or tails. You flip the coin 10 times, with a result of 8 heads and 2 tails,
and conclude that the probability of a coin landing on heads is 80%. Why did
you get inaccurate results?
A. The size of the coin wasn't considered.
B. The sample size was too small.
C. There is only one head and one tail, so the results should be 50%
each.
O D. You didn't flip the coin high enough.

Answer 1

C. The probability of choosing something could either be this or that . Considering this, the probability of obtaining a head should be 50%

Answer 2

Experimental probability describes how frequently an event actually occurred in an experiment. So if you tossed a coin 20 times and got heads 8 times, the experimental probability of getting heads would be 8/20, which is the same as 2/5, or 0.4, or 40%.
