What is the probability of getting two head and one tail if a coin is tossed 3 times?
the probability of getting one head and one tail on three flips of a coin is 1/9
What is the probability that you toss a head or a tail?
Assuming a two-sided coin, and that you make the the toss, the probability of tossing a head or a tail is 100%. The probability of tossing a head is 50%. The probability of tossing a tail is 50%.
If you toss a coin 1000 times and find that it comes up head 532 times what is the probability of getting a tail?
The probability is still 50%
If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur at the same time?
The probability is 0. Consider the event of tossing a coin . The possible events are occurrence of head and tail. they are mutually exclusive events. Hence the probability of getting both the head and tail in a single trial is 0.
How do theoretical probability and experimental probability relate?
Take for example, flipping a coin. Theoretically, if I flip it, there is a 50% chance that I flip a head and a a 50% chance that I flip a tail. That would lead us to believe that out of 100 flips, there should theoretically be 50 heads and 50 tails. But if you actually try this out, this may not be the case. What you actually get, say 46 heads and 54 tails, is the experimental probability. Thus, experimental probability differs from theoretical probability by the actual results. Where theoretical probability cannot change, experimental probability can.
