You toss a coin 15 times. P(heads) 2/5 =
a. experimental; the result is found by repeating an experiment.
b. experimental; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.
c. theoretical; the result is found by repeating an experiment.
d. theoretical; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.
i think A
The answer to this question is d. theoretical; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.
To understand why, we need to break down the information given. The statement "P(heads) = 2/5" tells us the probability of getting a heads when tossing a coin. In this case, the probability is 2/5, meaning there are 2 favorable outcomes (getting heads) out of 5 total possible outcomes (heads or tails).
To determine the probability theoretically, we don't need to perform any experiments. The probability can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of total possible outcomes. In this case, since we are tossing a coin, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (heads or tails), and the number of favorable outcomes is 2 (getting heads). Therefore, the probability of getting a heads is 2/5.
So, the answer is d. theoretical; the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.
