The experimental probability of tossing a tail and spinning a 2 is given by: Option H: 1/8
What is experimental probability?
Experimental probability calculates the probability of some event from the results of experiments.
For an event E, we get the experimental probability of that event
[tex]P_e(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of times E occurred}}{\text{Number of times experiments was done}}[/tex]
where, [tex]P_e(E)[/tex] is denoting experimental probability of occurrence of E.
For this case, the table is missing, the results recorded were:
Toss Spin Frequency
Head 1 2
Head 2 6
Head 3 7
Tail 1 7
Tail 2 5
Tail 3 13
That means total number of times experiment was done was: 2+6+7+7+5+13=40
Let we take E = event of tossing a tail and spinning a 2
Thus, from the table, we see that E occurred 5 times.
Thus, based on this, the experimental probability of occurrence of E is:
[tex]P_e(E) = \dfrac{5}{40} = \dfrac{1}{8}[/tex] (option H)
