Objective
To find out the relation between theoretical and experimental probability.
Material required
1-Coin
2-Calculator
Procedure
Theoretical probability of tossing a coin and getting a head or a tail can be found out by following method.
The probability of getting a head by tossing a coin = 1/2
Since, it is tossed 15 times = 1/2 x 15 = 7.5
Same is the case with tails = 7.5
Now, if we want to find out the experimental probability, we need to toss the coin by our self. Then, we will divide the number of times a head comes to 15 e.g. total number of tosses and same when tail comes.
In our case
Probability of head = 4/15
Probability of tail = 11/15
Observation
The values for both are different
Result
Both the values are independent of each other
