The expianment involved tossing three coins stimulatesly the expiranment was carried out 100 times and it was noted that three heads ocvurwd 40
Times. What is the difference between expiranmental probablity of getting three heads and it theoretical probability? Write your answer in simplest fraction form
Experimental probability of getting three heads = Number of times three heads occurred / Total number of experiments
= 40 / 100
= 2/5
Theoretical probability of getting three heads = Probability of getting one head when tossing a coin = 1/2
Since we are tossing three coins, the probability of getting three heads = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8
Difference = Experimental probability - Theoretical probability
= 2/5 - 1/8
= 16/40 - 5/40
= 11/40
Therefore, the difference between the experimental probability of getting three heads and the theoretical probability is 11/40.
