Question

Given the above outcomes of 100 coin tosses, what is the experimental probability of flipping a head and a tail respectively?

• A. $P\left(Head\right)=0.6$
  $P\left(Tail\right)=0.4$
• B. $P\left(Head\right)=0.40$
  $P\left(Tail\right)=0.60$
• C. $P\left(Head\right)=0.5$
  $P\left(Tail\right)=0.5$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B $P\left(Head\right)=0.40$

$P\left(Tail\right)=0.60$
In experimental probability, the outcome of the subsequent events are based on the outcomes of the previous events.

Hence,
$P\left(Head\right)=\frac{40}{100}=0.4$

$P\left(Tail\right)=\frac{60}{100}=0.6$
