Question

Tim tosses a coin 27 times. The coin lands on heads 5 times. Which statement is TRUE about the experimental and theoretical probabilities? When comparing, round the probabilities to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

The theoretical probability is 1/2 if the coin is fair.

Here the experimental probability = 5/27  which is  a lot less than the theoretical  

Theoretical = 0.5 , experimental = 0.185

Difference in probability = 0.500 - 0.185 =  0.315  = 0.32 to nearest hundredth.
