Question 204750: Take a coin and flip it 20 times. How many times did you get heads? HOw many times did you get tails? What is the experimental probability that the next time you flip the coin, it will be heads? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability on flipping the coin is theoretically always 1/2.
--------------
When you flip the coin 20 times you can come up with an empirical
probability. If you get 13 heads in 20 tosses your probability
of getting a head on the next toss would be 13/20.
