Question

follow these steps to perform a probability experiment. 1. press the button to flip the coin 5 times. 2. what is the experimental probability of flipping a head after five flips of the coin? 2/3 2/5 3/5 event heads tails total

Explanation:

Step1: Recall experimental - probability formula

Experimental probability $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Step2: Identify values for coin - flipping

The total number of coin - flips is $n = 5$. Let the number of heads be $h$. We need to count the number of heads in 5 flips. But assuming we are just looking at the formula structure for a 5 - flip experiment, if we assume we got $h$ heads, the experimental probability of getting a head is $P=\frac{h}{5}$. Among the given options, if we assume we got 3 heads in 5 flips, the experimental probability is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Answer:

3/5
