Question

Find the experimental probability that 4 of 4

children in a family are boys.
The problem has been simulated by tossing 4
coins (one to represent each child). Let "heads"
represent a boy and "tails" represent a girl. A
sample of 20 coin tosses is shown.

Experimental Probability =

Answer 1

1/2 ^4 = 16

Its a 50% chance each time so multiply it by itself 4 times

Answer 2

5%

Explanation:

1/20 tosses were successful

P(4 heads)= 1/20

Experimental Probability = 1/20 * 100 = 0.05 * 100 = 5%
