Question

1. Determining the probability of a coin landing heads up by actually tossing a coin several times is an example of what?

A. sample probability
B. theoretical probability
C. experimental probability
D. outcome probability

Answer 1

C.

Explanation:

Theoretical probability and Experimental probability are related in that theoretical probability is based on your reasoning (e.g. two sides; therefore, there is a 50% chance of heads), but experimental probability is where your numbers are based off of actual results (e.g. you landed head 1/4th of the time; therefore, there is a 25% chance of getting heads.)
