A baseball team averages one win to every one loss.The coach tosses three coins to simulate three games.Heads represents a win and tails represents a loss.The results of 10 coin tosses are shown.Find the experimental probability of 3 losses.

(A)1/5

(B)1/4

(C)1/2

Answer 1

A is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

(A) 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The experimental probability is defined as the ratio between the number of time certain events occurs and the total number of trials.

In this case, there are 10 coin tosses. Notice that there are only two events where the lose three times, that means the probability is

$P=\frac{2}{10}=\frac{1}{5}$

Which means that in two cases out of ten the lose three games.

Therefore, the right answer is A.
