Question

directions: type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words.
roger completed a probability experiment with a coin. he flipped the coin 32 times, and it landed on tails eight times. he looked at the results of his experiment to determine the ratio of heads outcomes to tails outcomes.
the ratio of heads to tails in simplified form is (square) to (square).

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of heads

The total number of flips is \(n = 32\), and the number of tails is \(t=8\). Using the formula \(h=n - t\) (where \(h\) is the number of heads), we have \(h = 32-8=24\).

Step2: Find the ratio of heads to tails

The ratio of heads to tails is \(\frac{h}{t}=\frac{24}{8}\). Simplifying the fraction \(\frac{24\div8}{8\div8}\) (dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest - common divisor, which is 8).
