Question

A coin is flipped 200 times. The table shows the frequency of each event.

Outcome Frequency
Heads 98
Tails 102

Determine the experimental probability of landing on heads

Answer 1

0.49

Explanation:

The experimental probability of landing on heads can be calculated by dividing the number of times heads occurred by the total number of flips:

Experimental probability of landing on heads = Number of heads ÷ Total number of flips

Experimental probability of landing on heads = 98 ÷ 200

Experimental probability of landing on heads = 0.49

Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on heads is 0.49.
