Question

A coin is tossed several times and the results are displayed in this table.

Heads: 14 Tails: 7

What is the experimental probability of the coin landing on tails?

Enter your answer, as a fraction in simplified form, in the boxes.

Answer 1

A coin was tossed a total of 21 times.

If we add 7 + 7 + 7 together, we can see that we get 21.

Since 7 + 7 = 14, the probability of getting heads is 2/3.

1 - 2/3 = 1/3, so the experimental probability of the coin landing on tails is 1/3.
