Question:

a. A coin is flipped ten times and it shows heads four times. Based on this result, estimate the experimental probability of getting heads.

Experimental probability is 4/10 or 0.4.

b. The coin is flipped 100 times and it shows heads 42 times. Calculate the experimental probability. The experimental probability is 42/100 or 0.42.

c. The coin is flipped 1000 times and it shows heads 426 times. Calculate the experimental probability.

The experimental probability is 426/1000 or 0.426.

d. Which of the three values do you think is the most accurate and why?

0.426 is the most accurate as it is based on more results.
