Question

A coin is tossed 160 times and shows tails 54 times. Calculate the experimental probability of the coin showing tails.

Answer 1

Experimental probability is the ratio of number of times the event is occurring to the total number of the trials of the experiment, this can be mathematically represented as:
Experimental probability=(number of occurrences)/(total number of trials)
from our question:
number of occurrences=54
total number of trials=160
thus;
Experimental probability=54/160=0.3375

Answer: 0.3375
