A coin is flipped 150 times. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table:

Heads Tails
84 66

Which of the following statements best describes the experimental probability of getting heads?
A. It is equal to the theoretical probability.
B. It is 6% lower than the theoretical probability.
C. It is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.
D.The experimental probability cannot be concluded from the data in the table.

The answer is C because theoretically it should have a 50% of landing heads but instead it lands heads 56% of the time. Thus this is 6% higher than 50%. It's not D because there is not specified detail of how the person got this data so you can assume that the person did a fair survey/data collection.

Option (C) is correct.

Experimental probability is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.

What is probability?

"Probability is the chance that same event will happen. It is ratio of the number of ways a certain event can occur to the number of possible outcomes."

Explanation for correct option:

Theoretically it should have a 50% of landing heads and 50% landing of tail.

But instead it lands heads 56% of the time. Thus this is 6% higher than 50%.

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation for other options:

It's not D because there is not specified detail of how the person got this data so you can assume that the person did a fair survey/data collection.

It's not B because already in correct option it is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.

It's not A because theoretical probability is 50% but in the given data it is 6% higher than theoretical probability.

Hence, Option (C) is correct.

Experimental probability is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.
