Experimental versus theoretical probability — Homework
Compute each experimental probability and compare it to the theoretical probability.
- 1.A coin is flipped 80 times and lands heads 36 times. Find the experimental probability of heads.
- 2.A die is rolled 50 times and shows a 3 exactly 10 times. Find the experimental probability of rolling a 3.
- 3.Compare the experimental probability in the die problem above to the theoretical probability of rolling a 3.
- 4.A spinner with theoretical P(blue) = 1/3 is spun 90 times, landing on blue 33 times. Find the experimental probability and compare it to theoretical.
- 5.Flip a coin 20 times at home, record your results, and compute your experimental probability of heads. How close is it to the theoretical 1/2?
