* Please Answer Fast, Test*

You stimulate tossing a coin 500 times by randomly generating a set of 500 integers equal to either one or two, where one represents head and two represents tails. Your stimulation results in 213 ones and 287 twos

A) the experimental probability of getting tails is 57.4%, which is close to the theoretical probability of 50%

B) the experiment probability of getting tails is 42.6%,which is close to the theoretical probability of 50%

C)the experimental probability of getting tails is 25.8%, which is less than the theoretical probability of 50%

D) the experimental probability of getting tails is 74.2%, which is greater than the theoretical probability of 50%

Answer 1

Explanation:

D SHOULD BE THE ANSWER.

Experimental probability of tails = Number of tails / Total number of tosses

Experimental probability of tails = 287 / 500

Experimental probability of tails = 0.574 or 57.4%

Since the experimental probability of getting tails is greater than the theoretical probability, this suggests that the coin may be biased toward tails.
