The teacher of a seventh-grade class flipped a coin 100 times. The students recorded the results in the table shown below:
Side of Coin Landed On Heads Tails
Number of Flips 54 46
Which of the following best describes the experimental probability of getting tails? (1 point)
The experimental probability is the same as the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is 4% lower than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is 4% higher than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability is cannot be concluded from the data in the table.
The correct answer is: The experimental probability is cannot be concluded from the data in the table.
The experimental probability of getting tails can only be calculated by dividing the number of times tails landed by the total number of flips. In this case, the experimental probability of getting tails is 46/100 or 46%. Without knowing the theoretical probability of getting tails, we cannot compare it to the experimental probability to determine if it is higher or lower.
