Lynn and Dawn tossed a coin 70 times and got heads 44 times. What is the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn's results?
The experimental probability of tossing heads is:
44/70
Simplifying this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2 (the greatest common factor) gives:
22/35
Therefore, the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn's results is 22/35.
To find the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn's results, you need to divide the number of successful outcomes (getting heads) by the total number of trials (the number of times they tossed the coin). In this case, they tossed the coin 70 times and got heads 44 times.
So, the experimental probability of tossing heads can be calculated as:
Experimental Probability = Number of successful outcomes / Total number of trials
Experimental Probability = 44 heads / 70 total tosses
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Experimental Probability = 0.6286
Therefore, the experimental probability of tossing heads using Lynn and Dawn's results is approximately 0.6286 or 62.86%.
