Question

identify the following probability as theoretical or empirical. After tossing the same coin 10 times, you are surprised to find that tails has come up 8 times. You therefore conclude that this coin is not fair and that the probability of getting tails with this coin is 0.80. A. Empirical B. Theoretical

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Empirical

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability is defined as a probability which is based on reasoning. This is written in a ratio form - of the number of favorable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes.

And the empirical probability gives an estimation of an event occurring based on how often that event occurred after collecting the data from large number of trials.

So, based on the definitions, the given scenario is empirical or experimental probability.
