Question

44) A coin is tossed 150 times and head appeared 60 times. Find the probability of getting a head in this experiment​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two types of probability:

Theoretical probability, this is the probability based on mathematical theory, it is rare to get the exact value of this in an actual experiment. The theoretical probability of getting heads when flipping a “fair” coin is always 50%.

Experimental probability, this is the results you actually get in your experiment. This problem claims you got 27/60 or 45%.

To summarize, the theoretical probability is always 50% but the experimental is going to be different almost every time you run the experiment, but in this specific case, the experimental probability of getting a head is 45%

Answer 2

Answer:

P(of getting head) =60/150=2/5
