Answer:
There are two possible outcomes when flipping a coin. The theoretical probability that you will get "heads" when flipping a coin is 50%. If you, for example, got 26 tails and 24 heads, then the experimental probability of getting heads is 48%.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two outcomes - heads or tails. In theory, you have a 50% chance of getting heads because half the time you should get heads, and the other half you should get tails. If you actually flipped a coin fifty times, there's a good chance it would not actually be 50/50. In the example, I flipped a coin fifty times and got tails 26 times and heads 24 times. Since we flipped it fifty times, we just have to double these numbers to figure out the percentage (because then it will be like I flipped it one hundred times, to make 100%). 26 × 2 = 52 and 24 × 2 = 48. So when I actually experimented, there was a 52% chance of me getting tails and 48% chance of me getting heads.
