To calculate:
Outcomes that is the experimental probability the same as the theoretical probability.
Answer to Problem 81E
For outcome HT/TH, the theoretical and experimental probabilities are similar.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
HH | HT | TH | TT |
Calculation:
Above table shows result of flipping two coins
Theoretical probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to total number of outcomes.
While, experimental probability refers to the ratio of number of successes to the number of trials.
The chances of getting two heads are
The chance of getting one head and one tail is
Hence, for outcome HT/TH, the theoretical and experimental probabilities are similar.
