Tiya flipped a coin 40 times the coin landed heads up 16 times and tails up 24 times part a based on the results what is the experimental probability of the coin land in heads up part B what is the theological probability of the coin landing heads up?
Part A: The experimental probability of the coin landing heads up is calculated by dividing the number of times the coin landed heads up by the total number of flips.
Experimental probability of heads up = Number of heads up flips / Total number of flips
Experimental probability of heads up = 16 / 40
Experimental probability of heads up = 0.4 or 40%
Part B: The theoretical probability of the coin landing heads up is calculated by dividing the number of ways the coin can land heads up by the total number of possible outcomes.
Theoretical probability of heads up = Number of ways to get heads up / Total number of possible outcomes
Theoretical probability of heads up = 1 / 2
Theoretical probability of heads up = 0.5 or 50%
Therefore, the experimental probability of the coin landing heads up is 40% and the theoretical probability is 50%.
